Explanation
Gibson / 1964 J-50 ADJ
[Demo Video]
[Comment from the person in charge: Hoshino]
The crisp feel provided by the adjustable saddle matches the strumming motion, resulting in a comfortable playing experience.
You can experience a different tone compared to slot saddles, so I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't tried adjustable saddles before give them a go.
When you think of round shoulders, the J-45 comes to mind, but the J-50, which appeared in 1942, had the same specifications as the J-45 but with a natural finish.
However, when placed next to the J-45, it has a different look and appeal.
- Period of changes to the pickguard
In 1964, the large pickguard was changed from a thin tortoiseshell pattern to a thicker, more reddish pickguard.
The reddish pickguard looks great against the natural color.
The round-shouldered body, made of spruce, has a natural-colored finish.
The J-50 was added to the lineup as a natural color version of the J-45.
It's clear that Gibson changes the model name for natural-colored models, as seen with the Country Western, which is the natural-colored version of the Southern Jumbo, a higher-end model of the J-45.
Rosetta's rings changed from a single ring to a double ring design starting in 1963.
The sides and back are made of mahogany and painted brown to match the top color, but while the paint was light walnut until 1960, it changed to dark walnut around 1961.
The fretboard is made of rosewood, and the nut width is approximately 42mm, which is considered a regular neck.
The neck is made of mahogany, and its thin neck shape provides a comfortable fit that feels natural in the hand.
There is some paint peeling on the back of the 3rd floor, but it does not feel rough to the touch and does not affect playing.
The rosewood bridge on the upper belly features an adjustable saddle, which, unlike a slotted saddle, allows you to raise or lower the string height by turning the left and right slotted screws.
Additionally, the bridge plate under the bridge is a 3-piece design, just like the 1964 J-45.
Additionally, the bridge plate has been repaired due to wear and tear from years of use.
This repair is very important because it affects both the strength and the tone of the instrument.
The headstock, like that of the J-45, features a gold Gibson modern logo silkscreen print.
The bell-shaped truss rod cover is a single piece.
The tuning machines are KLUSON DELUXE single-line 3-in-line tuners.
Actually, this specification was changed to a double-line design in 1965, so the single-line 3-in-line pegs...RecruitThis is also the final period.
Like the J-45, the J-50 has been loved by artists such as Bob Dylan and James Taylor, even as its specifications have been modified over time.
Adjustable saddleRecruitHowever, I think there are many people looking for this model with a regular neck.
