1947 Gibson J-50

Have you ever tried to scrape together the dough for a flattop Gibson from the 40s but you just couldn’t quite pull it off? Well here’s your chance to snag a beautiful 40s Gibson J-50 at a truly great price all because of a few modifications that knocked down the collectable value while preserving and actually enhancing the look and playability of the guitar.

This 1947 slope shouldered J-50 plays like a dream thanks to a neck reset and refret. A refinished top and a vintage-correct repro bridge replacement were done long enough ago that the top has acquired a nicely aged look. Sides, back, and neck are all original finish in very good to excellent vintage condition.

The classic headstock overlay is nice and clean with logo in pristine original condition. Original three-on-a-plate tuners with ivoroid buttons that function perfectly. A few professionally repaired cracks that are stable and hardly noticeable. This is a fine looking J-50 with enough wear to live up to its vintage character but pretty enough to be the belle of the ball.

Comes with a modern hardshell case. Grab this value-priced guitar while you can and fulfill your dream of owning a vintage J-50 that will serve you well whether you’re gigging on the big stage or just playing a coffee house around town.
