LeeE Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have a Gibson acoustic guitar with a number that is stamped on the inside J60ADJ. It was given to me new in 1972. I can't find any information on it. Does anyone know anything about this guitar. I can't find anything online. Thanks, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You sure it does not say J50 ADJ in there? The J60 is a new model that the folks at Bozeman came up with in the early 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well. That also looks like a round-shoulder, which would would make it pre-1970. It would not be that unusual for a 1969 guitar to still be sitting on a dealer's shelf in 1972. Although it's hard to judge from the photo, the guitar looks really nice. It would be good if the original poster could show us the entire guitar from a stright-on point of view, so we can tell him a bit more about it.

OMG, You're right. It IS J50. Thank you so much. What's the best way to find out what it's worth? Thank you thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 A J-50 is a blonde J-45 or a slope C&W without the mop fretboard. The web booms with info on this classic. You should focus a bit on the saddle theme also. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 There should be a serial number stamped into the back of the peghead. Once you get that you will hopefully be able to date the guitar which is necessary before you can figure out what it is worth. Also be thanful you still have the ADJ bridge on it. Despite the fact that these are widely decried as being "tone killers" the original bridge still means more money for the guitar when you go to se3ll it.
