Description
This 1952 Gibson J-50 is a wonderful vintage slope-shoulder dreadnought with the warm, dry, woody tone and open character that have made these early Gibsons so sought after. It has received professional maintenance over the years, including a reglued X-brace and bridge reglue. Worn but well cared for, it shows extensive finish checking, scratches, dings, and honest playwear throughout, all of which reflect decades of use without affecting its structural integrity, tone, or playability. A beautifully seasoned vintage Gibson that has been played, loved, and is ready for many more years of music.
Comes with TKL hardshell case.
