Gibson / J50 / 1949 / Guitar For Sale

The first Gibson J50 saw the light of day in 1947, five years after its sunburst-finished brother J45. In 1949, the J50 still had almost all the specifications that the model had at its introduction, but this 1949 J50 compared to its early years features a rosewood belly-up bridge and a three-piece binding on the top. These specifications were standard fit by Gibson on the model since 1950, but were also found on several 1949 examples is research has taught us. The well-known Slope Shoulder body shape gives the guitar its distinctive versatility with a warm and deep sound, excellent projection and unprecedented ease of play due to its short scale. The guitar features the well-known combination of a mahogany back and sides coupled with a Sitka spruce top. Finally, the tortoise pickguard and understated rosette complete the visual picture. And its versatility knows no bounds. Its beautiful dry vintage sound always comes into its own. It has the power and volume of a dreadnought, with the depth of the bass in particular standing out. But it is also very suitable for fingerstyle. So whether you are a solid strummer, or want subtle accompaniment, this J50 meets all your needs! Of course, the play marks and weather checking in the finish show that we are dealing with a well-played workhorse. This J50 has recently undergone several repairs, making the guitar ready for the musical battle all over again! The guitar has been fitted with a new bridge with new long saddle, and the nut has also been replaced. Furthermore, several braces in the body have been re-glued, and a new brace has been placed on the back. The bridge plate has also been repaired, and cleats have been placed on the inside of both the top and backboards to stabilise some cracks. This J50 is a fabulous-sounding vintage guitar that will attract the attention of many a guitarist and collector due to its played-in wood and recent repairs! Played by Rowdy Prins | Demo

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
