We are fortunate to have found one of the 586 SJs made by Gibson in the year 1956. This one comes to us from a local fellow who inherited it from a sickly boy he befriended and taught guitar back in the 1950s. It has primarily been stored detuned for years, brought out from time to time when visitors would use it to play a few tunes. It appears to be all-original with no repairs other than our reseating the bridge. It even has the original chipboard case in perfect condition. The one has that amazing vintage Gibson tone, big warm and woody bass and distinctive chime that only a mahogany Gibson seems to produce. This is the real deal found locally, what a treat.
This is one of those really special old Gibsons. It comes to us from only the second owner who has had it since it was just a few years old. It's in rare condition, all-original with just the usual finish checking a few small marks. The tone is the thing here though, it's big and all vintage Mahogany, killer bass and bright, crisp high end. This is the real deal. 
I'm a sucker for old Gibsons and it's rare to see one in this condition. The tone is sweet and warm. Woody Guthrie played a 1945 SJ. If I could, I'd buy this one. | Scale Length | 24.6 in |
