I did my best to picture the guitar from all angles to give you the best idea of the condition. This auction is for the guitar you see pictured with old acoustic guitar case only.

It is your responsibilty to read the auction entirely before bidding. Also, if my pictures are not high enough quality- you may want to check out the original Elderly posting as their photography is stunning and the guitar hasn't changed really since those were Other than substantial crazing on the back sides- most likely the reason for the guitar being marked a"2nd" it plays and sounds like a 45 year old guitar that spends most of its life in the case so there are no separation cracks or fretboard pitting etc. Action is low(more Taylor like could be higher for more volume if wanted) and there is absolutely no need for a neck reset. As well, BUT they both could be very highly figured other type of rosewood. I am confident that both the fretboard and the bridge are both Brazilian. It is an ideal lap guitar and excellent for recording. T his USA made acoustic g uitar is: EC- 00 size, D-shaped body, natural gloss finish, X-braced solid spruce top, laminated Brazilian rosewood back and sides, 3-piece 14-fret mahogany neck, 20-fret rosewood fretboard with pearloid dot inlays, rosewood bridge with adjustable saddle, black pickguard, white-bound body, b-w top purfling, 3-on-a-plate Kluson Deluxe tuners with plastic white buttons, 14-3/8" lower bout, ~24-3/4" scale, 1-9/16" nut width, 3-9/16" to 4-9/16" body depth, rare model, stamped"2" on back of headstock, SN:891078) I really like this guitar but I am playing only 1 3/4" neck guitars now and as such I am sure someone else would find this the perfect fit. I am comforta ble going along with Elderly's original assessment of circa 68-6 9 manufacture. Does not have M ade in US A stamp but shows 3 piece mahogany neck but serial#891078 so this could have enter d the produc tion/distribution pipeline from 1968 to 1970. more har dshell case and is a few years older- no other changes whatsoever from the information below. The problem is both these guitars' strings haven't been changed in years and years and they are way out of tune so it was hard to really get a sense of how they sound.GIBSON JUBILEE DELUXE(c.1968-69) descri ption taken from Elderly Guitars original postin g- this is the same instrument. How much would a Gibson like this usually go for? $2,000? He is willing to sell this one to me for $500 as well, which is obviously an absolute steal. However, it does have some nice bearclaw on the top.
#GIBSON J 50 SERIAL NUMBERS CRACK#
however, it is in fairly good condition, save a very small crack in the heel of the neck (where he tried to drill a hole for a strap button) and the tip of the pick guard is lifting from the body. It has that unfortunate adjustable bridge though. He also has a Gibson J-50 from 1971, thats what year he guesses he bought it and i think it should be somewhere around there since it has square shoulders and they made square shouldered 45's and 50's in '69 and '70. How much is this one generally worth? $1,000? He is will to part with it for just $500.

Its in great shape (hasnt been pulled out of the closet in 15 years) but we have no idea what year its is. I know a guy who has an old Guild D-50 made in westerly, RI (one heavy guitar!).
