1954 Gibson J-50

FON X9049-13. Rich and warm 50's tone, nicely opened up, with just enough thump in the bass. A lovely guitar with an aged feel that should coax the best out of your playing. Two top cracks were well repaired in our shop, along with a reglue of the tops' centerseam below the bridge, and two sections of the back's centerseam. No brace repairs, bridge and bridge plate are original and well glued. 100% original, some wear to the frets in the first position, but playability remains excellent with our standard set-up. K&K pure mini pickup installed with Vintage Jack endpin for no modification. Very minor finish scarring on the pickguard from an old sticker long removed. Very little finish wear to the body and neck, but plenty of lacquer crazing and darkening make this a thoroughly attractive guitar.
