Tech Notes: | This A-50 plays well with low action and light neck relief. The truss rod is adjustable, the frets have some areas of play wear but are still playing well. Appointments such as the silkscreen logo and lack of a peghead ornament date this instrument to early 1947 (Gibson switched to a modern style logo in late 1947). |
