1963 J-50

Gibson / 1963 J-50

The J-45 and J-50 have been Gibson's top-selling flat-top guitars since their birth.
The difference between the J-45 and J-50 lies in the color and the quality of the spruce used for the top.
The J-50 uses a natural finish, which means that only the best-grained spruce from the stock is used instead of knotty pieces. Therefore, the J-50 was more expensive at the time.

This 1963 J-50 has a regular neck with a nut width of 42mm, a head angle of about 17 degrees, and a plastic bridge.
The head angle was changed to about 14 degrees around 1965 with the transition to a narrow neck, and this head angle gives a slightly stronger tension feeling than on later J-50s, giving the sound a bounciness and long sustain as if it were played on a long scale.
The plastic bridge is hollow, which adds a moderate airiness to the sound, and also adds a sense of spaciousness, allowing you to maximize the "Gibson Vintage" sound that can only be experienced with this specification and this age.
The plastic bridge is a very rare item in this sense as well, especially since it is glued to the top board with only a small gap.

[Condition.]
The condition of the neck and wood has been inspected and adjusted by a professional acoustic guitar craftsman, and all parts are in good condition.
The entire guitar has been over-lacquered, but it appears that some time has passed since it was painted, and there is some chequering, etc., which gives it a very regal look.
The neck has been straightened and adjusted, and the string height at the 12th fret is set at 2.3mm on the 6th string side and 2mm on the 1st string side.
The top bulge is very minor considering its age, and it is in good condition to last for decades to come.
