Cosmetic Condition: This vintage Gibson J-50 shows various signs of wear, use, and repair.

There is a 3" long crack on the back of the body, at the treble shoulder, which is open but is not affecting the guitar. The dark finish has signs of sanding and refinishing, and there are some darker touchups throughout as well. The back of the neck has been refinished to a glossy texture, and there are open screw holes from previously installed tuners.

Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with medium-low action, and the frets are low with mild wear. The headstock banner logo and laminated maple neck construction likely date the guitar to 1946.
