1950 Gibson J-50 Natural

I've actually heard more really great sounding J-50's from the early 50's than J-45's. Did they use better wood and the J-50's I ask you? This one has some very nice and unusual cross grain, looks almost flamey from side. This guitar had a pickup which was removed. Jack plugged in side. Strap pin hole plugged in side as well. 2 screws behind bridge that served what purpose? Removed and plugged. Even though the action is medium high and very playable it would benefit with a neck reset and new bridge. The one on it has been shaved down. Original tuners. Original frets. Could use a better nut. Priced right and has potential. Non original case.
