This vintage Gibson J-50 from 1967 captures everything players love about mid-century Gibson acoustics — warmth, balance, and unmistakable character. Handcrafted during a golden era for the brand, this dreadnought features a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, delivering a classic tone that’s both woody and articulate. Its aged lacquer finish and natural checking give it the well-earned patina only time can create, while the round-shouldered dreadnought body design projects beautifully whether fingerpicked or strummed. The sound is open and mature, with clear trebles, present mids, and a warm low end that’s developed richly over nearly six decades.

The neck, carved from solid mahogany, has a wide, comfortable profile and a 24.75” scale length that makes fretting smooth and expressive. A rosewood fingerboard with simple dot inlays provides a traditional feel, while the bone nut and ivoroid bridge pins add a touch of vintage authenticity. The adjustable rosewood saddle is another hallmark of this era, offering both tonal flexibility and period-correct detail. Its 16” radius and compact nut width make it easy to play up and down the neck, ideal for both rhythm and lead work.

This 1967 J-50 is more than an instrument—it’s a piece of Gibson history with songs already living in its wood. Every nick and line tells the story of where it’s been, while its tone continues to inspire where it’s going next. For players and collectors alike, it’s a rare chance to own a genuine example of Gibson’s acoustic legacy at its most soulful.
