I am looking for a 1955 J45 in good to excellent condition. If you have one of know of one please drop me an email
gassman55@yahoo.com
I have got a J-55 that looks quite similar to the J-50. Bought in London in '76.
Do you have any specs on that model?
Hai, the Netherlands
In 1973 they reintroduced the gibson the jumbo 55 and called it the j-55 they had square shoulders , arched backs , laminated mahogany back and sides , square bridges and were made in natural finishes ( very similar to the j-50 ) , these gibson guitars were discontinued in 1982 .
read the guitar review of the jumbo 55 for more details and prices ..
Any information on a J300 artiste six string acoustic made in 1970/71
A review on the gibson j-300 will be posted this week . Just took a little break . Hope it will help .
I have a 1993 J-200 100 years model can anyone help with info
Ill be surprised if anybody can give you any info on that guitar , they only made a limited amount, also during the nineties gibson made many model variations of j-200 with different specs ... you're best bet is to call gibson direct ( they have a toll free number on their web site )
If you have 100th anniversary label visible through the sound hole its the j-200 centennial , these guitars are collectable ( limited quantities were available in 93/94 ) they are now valued at $2500 to $3000 and will go up has the years go by .
these were made with figured maple bodies flamed maple necks ( high quality wood for musical instruments which produces a very warm tone )
I have an gibson from the 60's (I think) and I am looking to sell it. In the sound hole, it's printed J-50ADJ. The 6digits on the pegboard are hard to read; I am quite sure about the first 3 digits (309) but the fourth digit could be a 5 or a 6, the fifth digit could be an 8 or a 3, and the sixth digit could be a 1 or a 0. This sounds weird, but it seems to have been stamped(?) more than once, which makes the numbers hard to read. Anyway, it's definitely weathered but the sound is beautiful. What's a fair asking price for a guitar like this? Thanks! chulo51@aol.com
i dont think anybody can answer your question without seeing the guitar , plus you need the exact year ... you can not just guess the year ...
I have a Gibson sunburst guitar with a ink stamp R6931-27 that was my fathers.It is in good condition with the brown fake alligator case. Is this a 1960 J-45, and can anyone till me anything about and its value
the serial number you provided indicates that its a 1960 . Will have to see a picture to determine the model .
i found a j160-e square shoulder model bought at massiminos'in the early 70's. this was the best sounding acoustic ever heard. then in the early 90's while buying a 12 string for a friend, found a j185 koa at limelight in rochester, mi., now the best sounding acoustic ever!
Hi. Thanks very much for your time and efforts with this site. I have a '71 J-50 Deluxe in a sunburst finish. Is this possibly original, or were all J-50 models natural finish?
all j-50 gibson models were made in naural finishes ..
Hi, I have a 1957 Gibson J-200 sunburst in pretty rough shape and wondering if it's worth restoring or selling it to someone who will do it justice. Needs a neck reset and has cracks on both sides of where the neck meets the body (crack on soundboard) a few side cracks that have been repaired in the past. Headstock, body, bridge, neck, and frets all seem to be very nice. Finish is nice too with lots of finish checking. Has original case with pink interior but is held together with tape. Wondering how much I would expect to invest in repairs or what range I should expect to get if I sell as is.
you should bring to a luthier that specializes in vintage guitars for an estimate , i don't see how anybody can answer your question without seeing the guitar and the repairs ...
I have a Gibson J 185 natural from the mid fifties in excellent condition. Interested parties can email me at rere0311@yahoo.com

What is the value of a Centennial Limited Edition SJ-100?
#17 out of 100 produced.
Thanks,

I have a Gibson J-160e that I bought in 1969. I have not been able to find the exact year that it was made.
It has 20 frets and a number stamped on the back of the head behind the Gibson name. The number is: 73157.
Can anyone tell what year it is?
I still have a Gibson L7 acoustic guitar, sunburst finish, in its original hard case. I purchased it in l945 and used it in the earlier years, but not recently. it is in mint condition. How can I find an estimate of its value?
