❌SOLD❌ Gibson J-50 ADJ Slope Shoulder Natural, 1968

On October 8, 2023 /

The Gibson J-50 ADJ Slope Shoulder Dreadnought models were produced in tandem with the better known J-45, with the difference being the J-50’s natural vs the J-45’s sunburst top. This sometimes meant that the J-50’s used visually higher grades of Spruce, but the two guitars are otherwise identical.
