Description

A songwriter's best friend, the Gibson J-50 is a favorite of James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Gillian Welch. This example from 1965 meets the cutoff for a wide nut fingerboard and honestly has the perfect neck shape. Like many J-45s and J-50s that got the styrene pick guards, it fell off a long time ago and therefore doesn't exhibit tan lines. It's a unique opportunity to have one without one or make your own shape without revealing an old footprint. This one sounds loud, open, and warm. Great for strumming or fingerpicking.

Comes in original chipboard case
