Default 1999 Gibson J60 - Big Square-shoulder Dread

Affectionately referred to as the "bonecrusher" by Gibson... I believe this is the largest dread body Gibson has made to date. Standard specs for these J60's - Spruce top, EIR B/s, has a new K&K pickup installed, tuners are great, just set up with new bone nut, saddle, pins, etc... plays like a dream.

Great sounding guitar - I just have too many in right now and need to clear up some cash. This is 1 of 4 Gibson's I'm throwing up for sale - need to move a couple and I'll keep the rest!

Players grade for sure, as is witnessed by the pics, but all true honest wear - no abuse and no structural issues whatsoever.

Any questions, just ask! Looking for $1400obo.

i have one of these as my main stage guitar with aftermarket pickup

essentially its a square shoulder advance jumbo

neck is thicker (mine is .886) but nut is shy of 1.75 making it very manageable

Tone on mine is very thumpy in bass and clear in trebles. a monster on palm muting and great in open tunings

Awesome guitar!
Jason

Couldn't agree with you more, Jason! This one really seems to fly under the radar from a lack of awareness... love the sound of this one.

Back up to the top!

I've had a couple of these, they are fantastic guitars! Gibson really nailed it with this model, I'm surprised that they aren't more popular.

Putting this one back to the top! Thanks for all the endorsements on these guitars - they've definitely flown under the radar and very few people seem to be aware of just how great they sound.

All you have to do is click / zoom on any of them to see marks. Nothing terrible - chips and discoloration on the binding, checking and a couple little dings on the top. It's not horrible by any means, but it's just not a closet queen. If you want to see anything in particular just let me know and I can take a close up, but it should all by visible by zooming in.
