USED Gibson / J-50 DELUXE (Manufactured circa 1973–75 / Vintage) Gibson Acoustic Guitar J50 [08]

A 1970s Gibson J-50 Deluxe has just arrived!

Like the J-45, the J-50 was introduced in 1942 and has long reigned as the natural-finish version of the J-45.
Initially, it featured round shoulders like the J-45, but in late 1969, it was redesigned with square shoulders and a long scale.
Like the J-45, the model name began to include “DELUXE” in the 1970s.
In 1970, the adjustable saddle was discontinued, and the model began featuring double-X bracing.

The square-shoulder body features a spruce top and mahogany sides and back.
The top features the double-X bracing characteristic of the 1970s, and the guitar is equipped with a belly bridge and a large pickguard.
The mahogany neck, with a volute and a nut width of approximately 43 mm and a 25.5" long scale, features a rosewood fingerboard.
The headstock is fitted with tuning pegs stamped “GIBSON DELUXE.”
* The frets have been replaced. The saddle has been replaced.

Since its arrival, the guitar has undergone ironing, fret leveling, pickguard reinstallation, and binding reattachment.
It has also been serviced at a renowned guitar workshop!
The gap at the neck heel has been filled and the neck heel has been reshaped; the bridge, which was peeling, has been re-glued and sanded; and the top bracing, which was peeling, has been re-glued and sanded.
The truss rod has been tested up to 60 degrees in both directions and is functioning properly; while the frets are quite low, they remain at a playable level.
The body binding has become frayed due to age, and there is a high likelihood of peeling, missing sections, or chips occurring in the future.
The saddle is low (it’s best not to file it down any further), so the string action is currently on the high side.
A step has formed along the center seam of the top due to aging.
There is some paint chipping and minor cracking on the back of the neck.
Overall, there are quite a few scratches, paint chips, cracks, and signs of aging, but playability is not affected.

It features a wide, edgy, and loud strumming sound that’s truly captivating!
The mellow midrange resonates beautifully!
