For Sale: Gibson J-15 slope dread | sitka / walnut '16 SOLD

[tommyld]

Lovely Gibson with classic lines, all North American hardwoods, tasteful appointments, and beautiful walnut back and sides! Stunning thump, growl, and headroom. Comfortable and fast-playing Gibson scale. I've had a lot of guitars through the studio, and I think it's a real stand-out in tone. (Bonus: walnut smells great!) Alas, I have a couple too many guitars, and I want to add a rare 12-fret Gibson J in the future.

Straight acoustic. The undersaddle piezo has been removed and a lovely endpin has been installed...pulling the undersaddle only improved tone and volume.

Saddle upgraded to bone--includes 3 bone saddles of different heights. Plenty of saddle room. Nicely set-up.

Structurally sound. Virtually no fretwear.

Cosmetic condition: Excellent overall, some pick scratches, one notable ding in top (pictured, near pickguard, under strings), some other light dings, at least one ding on the binding. Some indentations on bridge, a few imperfections here and there. Like a lot of nitro-finished guitars, some cloudy spots where your arm/body contacts. You can have the finish buffed if you'd like, but it's very attractive and clean overall.

SOLD elsewhere.



The plastic bridge pins have been replaced with buffalo horn. I can also include the plastic pins that were on it before, but I don't know whether they were original.

Includes both metal and plastic keystone-shaped tuner buttons for the Grover Minis.

Includes wood coverplate and original plastic "2016"-etched truss rod cover, though the plastic cover has a couple cracks near the screw-holes, it works fine.

Includes original hardshell case.
