Thank you, everyone, for your contribution to my inquiry. It is more curiosity than anything else that got me looking into this. It is very apparent that the sales slip was written wrong and it is either a JG-0 or a J-50. There are variations of the J-50 that look so like the JG-0 that I cannot be 100% certain which it is. I am not selling it so it is not critical that I know. I will be checking some of the features you have suggested and perhaps will be more certain when I do that. However I do now know that it is not one of five or ten J-60's made in 1970 that would need its own insurance policy. It is quite comfortably covered on my regular home owner's policy!! Thanks.

I will check on your questions later this week. guitar is stored elsewhere right now so I only have pictures also. Pictures and memory. The receipt is dated '71, no mention of production date. I just did search on serial number and it makes no difference whether I put in J50 or J60. It says it was made in Kalamazoo or Nashville in 70, 71, or 72. My main question still is about the receipt saying it's a J60. Is that possible?

Just looked at sales slip again. It was 1971,

here's a picture.

the serial # is 970759. the D# is 91129. why should I pray it's not a 1970? it looks like a j-50 but the receipt very clearly says j-60. that's why i'm confused.

I bought a Gibson guitar in 1970 at the Sam Ash Music Store in Hempstead, NY. I still have the sales slip. It very clearly says on it that it is a J60 model. The guitar itself is in excellent condition. I am trying to determine its value. Is there any way to run the serial number against a database to be sure what model it is. Is it possible that it is a J60 from 1970? Thanks for the help.
