I was just now updating this post!

Most times I'd be glad to try to trade but unfortunately just too overloaded with guitars right now.

I love old Gibsons, hard to part with any of them.

Ever hear Bryan Sutton's '41 J-35 ( http://video.unctv.org/video/2365669708/ ) ... that's what this J-50 sounds like. Flatpick & fingerpick monster, dry Gibson tone for days.

Thanks for your interest!

Steve

My 1955 J50 is a monster!! Good luck with sale. If you like the Gibson sound, these babies have way more of it than most. ❤️[emoji169][emoji172]

Thanks billyg! I agree 100%, something different about these mid-1950s J-50 guitars, really punchy sound.

Default The Gibson

I was fortunate enough to play this guitar and it is probably the very best guitar I've ever played including pre war martins, Brazilian Olson's and everything in between. Someone will be getting a one of a kind instrument. Indescribable how good it is.
