1947 Gibson J-50

1947 Gibson J-50 in very good condition.  This guitar is a two owner instrument.  The original owner bought it new in 1947 and sometime in the mid 50s had a new bridge installed by Gibson because the original had split.  Has two repaired top cracks and a few braces have been reglued.  The sound is big and dynamic.  A more balanced sounding guitar than you might expect from a Gibson Jumbo.  The top appears to be Adirondack spruce.  The neck angle is perfect and there is plenty of saddle.  Tapered peghead with original 3 on a plate Kluson tuners with replaced buttons.  Great rounded neck shape with 1 11/16" nut width.  Overall a great 40s jumbo. Comes with new hard case.
