This 1952 Gibson J-50 is a beautifully aged example of Gibson’s classic round-shoulder dreadnought, delivering the warm, woody tone these models are celebrated for. Featuring a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it produces a rich, balanced sound with strong midrange and excellent projection. The comfortable ’50s neck profile and smooth playability make it a joy to play for both strummers and fingerpickers. This J-50 is a fantastic representation of Gibson’s golden-era acoustics. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes a non-original hardshell case. 

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
