The Story

1939 J-55 Faded Vintage Sunburst 2024

Originally sold here at The Music Zoo, this is a 2024 Gibson 1939 J-55 acoustic in Faded Vintage Sunburst. The guitar features premium ebony on the fingerboard and bridge, a long-scale neck, and a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top. Distinctive custom additions include a mustache bridge, terraced fire stripe pickguard, and a wide 1.77" nut width. The guitar has light playwear around the body and a small ding on the neck as pictured. There's some glossing in the finish as well from friction while being played. It sounds incredible as all of the historic models made by Gibson Bozeman do, and it includes the original case. The truss rod on this guitar has about 1/4 of a turn left until it is maxed out - however it is recently set up, and the neck is holding sturdy while playing quote well!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
