Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Good

Oh yes!  We love having used vintage pieces in our inventory in addition to brand new instruments from the world's best manufacturers.  This J-50 is a fantastic example of the magic a proper old guitar can have.  True to guitars from this period, the neck is a slim 1 9/16"--great for folks who can't do the highly prevalent 1 3/4" nut width found on many modern instruments.  Ragtime, country, blues--there's a whole host of classic American music waiting for you with this one!
