The Story

50's J-50 Original Antique Natural 2020

This is a very lightly used and still in excellent condition 1950's-inspired J-50 from Gibson - dubbed the 1950s J-50 Original acoustic-electric guitar. Classic “Workhorse” materials include a Sitka spruce top and select mahogany back and sides. The multi-ply top and single-ply back binding are subtlety antiqued making each instrument look just like a seasoned Gibson acoustic. Appointed with cream button tuners, a 1950s-era tortoise pick guard, and upgraded with an LR Baggs® VTC pickup for the best and most natural-sounding tone when amplified. The guitar was built just recently in 2020, and includes the original hardshell case. Just very light playwear to be seen on this one up close.

Includes: Hardshell Case
