Gibson 1963 J-50 ADJ

Gibson / 1963 J-50 ADJ

—A legendary machine born in the year music revolutionized the world.

1967 was a historic year, marking the rapid diversification of rock and folk music and ushering in a golden age for popular music.
The J-50, which was born in 1942 as a natural-finish version of the J-45, also underwent its own unique evolution along with the major trends of this era.
From the mid to late 1960s, Gibson made significant changes to its specifications, with the aim of attracting customers switching from electric guitars.

- Thick regular neck

With a nut width of approximately 43.5mm and a thick, semi-circular neck shape, it offers a comfortable playing experience with just the right thickness.

- Adjustable bridge

An innovative design that allows you to instantly adjust the string height using screws on both sides.
Unlike wooden saddles, ceramic saddles produce a hard, percussive attack that is unique to them.

- The last year of thin pickguards

This instrument has a thin, large pickguard made of brown tortoiseshell.RecruitThe following year, the specifications were changed to a thicker pickguard with a stronger reddish tint.
This instrument has the pickguard from before the specification change.RecruitThis is the one I got.

In the late 1960s, with the rise of band ensembles and the introduction of large amplifiers, acoustic guitars were required to have a "quick attack that wouldn't get lost in the mix of other instruments."
The sound emanating from this 1967 J-50 is the answer. The crisp, sharp overtones that burst forth the moment you strum with a pick, and the dry midrange that the mahogany body, aged over many years, provides.
With just one stroke, it instantly recreates the atmosphere of acoustic rock and folk music from that era.
