Sounds like this one is well used but could be a good price for a 30 year old Gibson Dreadnaught acoustic - he says he he did buy it from one of the most reputable vintage guitar dealers in Nashville, George Gruhn, about 20 years ago.

This is a 1979 ( I believe) Gibson J-40 acoustic guitar. I bought this from Gruhn Guitars in Nashville some time in the late 80s early 90s. The guitar is solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, maple neck, rosewood bridge, bone nut, I think the saddle is also bone. The guitar is stamped "Second" from the factory but I could never really figure out why. As far as I know everything is original, even the sealed tuners which still hold tune very well. The guitar has a few repairs to the top (cracks) over the years but nothing out of the ordinary for it age. If you like the RELIC look, this one has it, every scratch, chip, nick is the real deal and it has quite a few of them. I have the action set very low and the guitar plays very nice but everyone has their own idea of what they like. Comes with nice hard shell case from McMurry Music and a Pro Mag sound hole pickup. Price is firm.
