The Story

1947 J-50 Acoustic Natural 2006

Here's a wonderful vintage acoustic reissue built by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2006: a 1947 J-50 in Natural with a thermally aged sitka spruce top for warm vintage tones right out of the case. The guitar has mahogany back and sides with a rosewood fretboard, mother of pearl dot inlays and scalloped X bracing. It sounds wonderful and is in excellent condition with barely any wear on it!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
