1953 Gibson J50

*Please watched the attached video to see the full journey this guitar has been through.

Found in shambles at a local music store, this guitar has been painstakingly restored by renowned Canadian master luthier Jeremy Hamm from Hamm-tone guitars and Hamm-tone school of luthiery in Winnipeg Manitoba.

The neck, nut, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, back and sides, bridge, and saddle are original. Vintage era correct tuners added. All cracks have been professionally repaired and sealed, over sprayed and buffed, neck reset, re-fretted, re-topped to original year correct vintage Gibson specs, with a new custom pickguard. Gorgeous nitro finished sunburst top, with blearclaw in the grain! Amazing low end with deep projection and tone. This guitar is a cannon.
