Up for sale is a killer sounding 1972 Gibson J-50 in its original natural finish. Although the 70s can be a little hit or miss with Gibson acoustics I must say this one is impressive. 1 11/16th nut width, spruce top w/ mahogany back and sides, square shoulder body design, tort pickguard and a boomy tone. The previous owner had the adjustable bridge saddle removed and filled for a standard bone saddle and a set of modern Kluson style tuners installed. There are a few repaired cracks on the top of the body as well as scattered finish checking over most of the body and neck. This one sounds great and plays wonderfully.
Pro Setup in house and ships with a vintage hard case.
Weight: 4lbs. 10oz.
NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
