Hello folks,
New member to your forum, I am posting some photos of my J-50. It’s a bit of a mystery. Gibson customer service says it’s possibly a special order. It’s an odd one though, rosewood back instead of mahogany. It’s either a 73,74,75 model year Norlin era. Gibson said to contact Carter vintage for a proper appraisal. Guitar has great tone, Guitar has been played heavily and has had many repairs over the years, Broken head stock, neck re set, re fret, top crack repair, new bone nut and saddle, new bridge and bridge plate, L.R. Baggs added. It is amazingly solid and ready for many more years of play. I paid 750.00 for it. Take a look at photos and tell me what you folks think. Thanks!
