Description

The Gibson J-50 is always a joy to play, known for its dry, resonant mahogany power that makes it perfect for rhythm playing. The short scale also adds to its ease for fingerpicking. This 1949 J-50 is in overall good condition, bearing the marks of years on the road that have given it a beautiful, well-earned patina. It features replaced single-line Kluson tuners and has undergone a series of professional repairs, including a neck reset, refret, and bridge re-glue. Additionally, six braces have been re-glued, the original saddle slot was filled and re-slotted, and a new saddle was installed. Thanks to these expert restorations, the guitar plays effortlessly, delivering a warm, rich tone that captivates from the first note. It comes with a non-original 1970s purple velvet lined Gibson hardshell case.
