OK, everybody.
I am going to be back in the Gibson family soon.
I'm doing a trade for the 1966 Gibson J-50.
Really excited.
The top has lots of finish checking which just adds to the cool vintage mojo to me.
I can already here Dylan and Beatles tunes flowing out of that 44 year old beauty.
I appreciate the comments. I had a 2006 J-45 that I sold about 6 months ago and I'm really starting to miss having a short scale, slope shouldered Gibson in the house.
I have a 1997 Santa Cruz Vintage Artist that is awesome and fills the niche for the Martin D-18 sound, but there is just something to a slope D Gibson.
Any other thoughts are surely welcome.
I'm pondering buying a 1966 Gibson J-50.
It has the adjustable bridge, which is of concern.
In general how is the bracing, sound, etc, on mid 60's J-50's?
Any thoughts or concerns, yea or nay are appreciated.
