ecsong187 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 So I'm looking at a 69 Gibson J50 tonight that has had a side crack repaired. Anything else I should look for?? He wants to trade for my Mesa Boogie Head. Anyways I have been wanting a Gibson acoustic for a while. I'm not set on a slope shoulder, but it would be nice. For me it comes down to how it sounds/plays. Anyone got pics of nice square shoulder Gibsons?? Feel free to voice your opinions Thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those late 60's J50's have the narrow neck so make sure that'll work okay for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecsong187 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm gonna check it out in person tonight. Will most likely see some live action. But I probably won't like it because of the thin neck. We will see. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Square shoulders, thin neck, and heavy bracing. It would be wise to really check it out closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Craigslist flake to add to the list. hahaThe search continues -edwin I don't think you missed out on much there. If you want a J-50 I'd definitely look for a round shouldered one.
