Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop 1939 J-55 Reissue Guitar, VOS Faded Vintage Sunburst Gibson Acoustic

The Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop 1939 J-55 Reissue Guitar is a beautifully crafted instrument, built to pay homage to the musical influence of the original J-55. With a thermally aged red spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and a bold round shoulder dreadnought body, this guitar is more than just a reissue – it’s a statement of the enduring quality that Gibson offers.

Its round shoulder jumbo body, a characteristic shape from the 1930s, provides the guitar with its robust, powerful tone. The thermally aged red spruce top gives it a vintage vibe while offering an enhanced dynamic range. The body is complemented by a striking stairstep firestripe pickguard, accurate to the period.

Built for comfort and stability, the mahogany neck sports a historic AJ profile, giving the instrument a beefy yet balanced feel. Paired with an ebony fingerboard that boasts a 12″ radius and 19 “Legend Wire” frets.

This model remains true to its acoustic roots, offering no electronics but a purely organic sound. The 25.5″ long scale length enhances the guitar’s volume and tone, delivering a resonance that fills the room.

The VOS Faded Vintage Sunburst thin finish nitrocellulose lacquer preserves the instrument’s natural acoustic properties while providing a visually stunning aesthetic. The moustache bridge and open back cream button tuning machines add to the vintage look and feel. The guitar is safely housed in a redline hardshell case with a royal purple interior.

The Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop 1939 J-55 Reissue Guitar is a true work of art that blends history with modern craftsmanship. For the guitarist who values tradition and quality, this model is a fitting choice.
