  • Description: This is a beautiful left-handed Gibson J-50 guitar that appears to be circa 1979 or so and is in excellent all original condition with her original hardshell case. The instrument plays and sounds fantastic with a lovely low action and very smooth neck and playability overall. Pressed shaped back and lovely wide grained Sitka top really set off with the tortoise pickguard. Not much visible playwear on the frets or neck and the overall finish only has a few small dinks. Marked as a factory 2 with "Made in the USA" on the headstock back and a red H on the neckblock. Most know that the Gibson "seconds" were, and are, difficult to understand as most have no discernable defect or variance from the regular numbered instruments of the period. Two very small finish cracks, one by the pickguard and one below the bridge are literally finish fractures as it's hard to tell if the wood underneath is actually. It's a fine unique lefty and sounds loud woody and resonant with a great voice! We've got some great detailed pictures of this instrument and please request them at rob@guitardesires.com if you have any questions about the guitar.
