Default What the heck is a McPherson JL-50?

Came across one of these on my area Craigslist, though still pretty far away (about a 90 minute drive). The seller lists it as a 1977 McPherson JL-50.

It's listed at a ridiculously low number for a McPherson from what I've seen, so not sure what the reason is.

I'm not sure if I like or hate the look of them, but I've become intrigued by McPherson as they're pretty different. Still, I've never played or heard one outside of videos online.

I Googled around and couldn't find much if anything on this model. Anyone have experience or knowledge of this instrument?
