Excellent We had Bill Tippin go over this Gibson and he did a neck set, refret, new saddle, replacement tuners and a great setup. It plays like a new guitar but sounds like the 1969 Gibson it is.

Here’s a wonderful 1969 Gibson J-50 Diamond Jubilee brought to us by a local gent who played it for years. It has that dry, throaty Mahogany Dread sound that is so engrained in our music. Strum a G chord and it fills the room with that great J-50 chime. We had Master Luthier Bill Tippin go over it and it now plays like a new guitar and will need nothing for years. (See the condition statement for details). Here’s your chance at a hassle free vintage Gibson with superb tone.

Great vintage Mahogany tone and this one plays beautifully thanks to Bill Tippin. He sure knows how to take a vintage guitar and make it fun to play again. Don't miss this 1969 Gibson J-50, it's the real deal.
This classic Gibson acoustic has the more squared off shape of the Martin dread and it has the Martin style bridge setup as well. Not surprisingly, it reminds me a lot of a Martin guitar. I can see this instrument being used in a Bluegrass or Country setting where it is important to cut through the mix. The midrange response is powerful and clean and the bass is tight and controlled.
