1957 Gibson J-50 Slope Shoulder Acoustic Guitar

A beautifully preserved 1957 Gibson J-50 on consignment from its original owner. This golden-era Gibson has lived a careful life — no mistreatment, no repairs, and a wonderfully open, balanced tone that only six decades of natural aging can produce. It’s all original aside from a tasteful set of Grover tuners that make it stage-ready without sacrificing vintage vibe. The frets show minimal wear for a guitar of this age. The original hardshell case is included and in great shape for its age. A true “player’s guitar” — collectible, dependable, and full of character.
