Vintage Acoustic Guitar

up for auction is a VINTAGE GIBSON L-50 ACOUSTIC ARCHTOP GUITAR

• Gibson archtop made between 1938/1942 (3 out of 4 guitar shops say it is a 1938).


• Guitar is in excellent shape; there are no cracks or repaired cracks, the neck body joint is super tight, neck is straight, neck angle still perfect, frets are fine, no loose binding.


• It has the gold script cursive logo, the action is 1/8 of an inch at the 12th fret, the bridge is in the perfect spot for the correct intonation, the guitar plays and sounds great.  It has a very thick solid carved spruce top and maple back and sides.  The neck is very comfortable, about a medium size C.


• Everything is original  except for the reissue grover tuners, which are very nice and keep it in tune.  The original tuner buttons were deteriorated and will come with the guitar (will be in the case pocket as well as the endpin). 


• There are some scratches and pick scratches you can see where the end of the fretboard lays over the body, and there's a  spot on the pickguard side lower bout where the finish has peeled off, but no major damage, just cosmetic stuff  and normal playing wear .  Also some normal playing wear on the back of the neck.


• The guitar will come in the case you see pictured, not the original case.


• This is a great piece of GIBSON history!!... and also a very nice archtop in great shape. i don`t think i`ve ever seen a thicker spruce top. 


• Buyer pays flat shipping of $40.

Make someone REALLY happy this holiday season... even if that someone is you!
