Description

Player-grade, but incredible sounding, this early 1950s Gibson J-50 has just had a fresh refret and is playing wonderfully. The large bodied sound is great for strumming; it's why J-45s and J-50s are the most recorded acoustic guitar in the history of music. This one was modified many years ago, but still has vintage charm and character. There is no FON stamp visible on the neck block, but it is estimated to be roughly a 1953 production.
