Our Take:
With clean looks and classic tones, the Gibson '50s J-50 Original proves to be another incredible addition to the Gibson Original Collection - an assortment of high quality recreations of historically beloved Gibson acoustics. This J-50 is understated elegance, with a simple Unitone finish that perfectly highlights the gorgeous Sitka Spruce and Mahogany construction, along with vintage-style appointments that complete the '50s look. Plus, the J-50 comes equipped with an LR Baggs® VTC pickup for easy amplification.
Gibson's Take:
The classic Gibson J-50, handcrafted using Sitka spruce and mahogany. The J-50's Antique Natural top is highlighted with a Unitone back and sides finish for a simple and clean appearance, dressed with a distinctive 1950s-style tortoise pick guard. This Original Collection J-50 features nickel Grover Strap Cream button tuners and an LR Baggs® VTC pickup for effortless plug and play and natural sounding amplification anywhere you perform.
