Gibson 50's J-50 An Underrated Gem For Fans of the Natural.

Gibson 50's J-50 An Underrated Gem For Fans of the Natural.

Today we are checking out the Gibson J-50, an underrated guitar that is eerily similar to one of the most popular acoustic guitars of all time, the J-45. Different only in finish, the J-50 offers the Gibson slope-shoulder dreadnought classic with a beautiful natural top, as opposed to the vintage sunburst. This spruce/mahogany workhorse has been around since the 1950's, but it is now readily available as part of Gibson's Original Collection.
