Description
Late '60s J-50 that really does sound as good as it looks.
Couple of minor things of note.
The adjustable saddle has been done away with and the bridge filled with a small piece of (barely perceivable) wood. Someone has added a pickup, battery on the block and strap pin jack. Finish has lost a lot of its shine, checking all over, feels incredible to play. Frets show some pitting. The neck is straight and action at the 12th is 2.5mm (Bottom E) and 2mm at the top E. Saddle has 4mm of height, so room to come down in the future. The bridge has had a bit taken off the bottom.
It's a beautiful guitar and I am kinda in love with it, sounds like the acoustic sound on many records I love. I'm trying not to play ' Torn and Frayed' ah...too late.
Made in the USA.

"Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites
On stage the band has got problems
They're a bag of nerves on first nights
He ain't tied down to no home town
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless" - Rolling Stones 'Torn & Frayed'
