Originally released as the sibling to the iconic J-45, the J-50 offers the same build quality with a natural finish. This particular guitar, however, has been **refinished in a striking black**, giving it a distinctive, one-of-a-kind look. The J-50’s combination of a **spruce top** and **mahogany back and sides** produces the warm, rich tone that Gibson is known for. The body features **rope inlay** around the soundhole and **snowflake inlays** on the fretboard, adding to its unique appearance. Despite its cosmetic upgrades, the guitar retains its classic Gibson sound, perfect for singer-songwriters and vintage guitar enthusiasts. Condition: This vintage piece has undergone several repairs over the years, including crack repairs, a refinish, and modifications to the top, rosette, and binding. The guitar has a few cracks around the body, but they have been professionally repaired. The **frets** and **tuners** have been replaced, and the guitar is in excellent playing condition. The **bridge** and **bridge plate** have also been replaced for added stability. Despite its extensive repair history, the guitar delivers a robust, full-bodied tone typical of 1950s Gibsons. Key Features: **Year**: 1950 **Top**: Spruce (refinished) **Back & Sides**: Mahogany **Fingerboard & Bridge**: Rosewood **Binding**: Custom 5-ply black and white **Inlays**: Snowflake (fingerboard), Rope Inlay (soundhole) **Weight**: Approx. 3.0kg **Case**: Includes hardcase (modern Gibson case) If you’re looking for a vintage acoustic guitar with a unique look and powerful tone, this Gibson J-50 is a must-have.
