Gibson L-50 Archtop Acoustic

Recently examined and gone over by vintage guitar dealer in Austin, Texas.

Manufactured in 1949/50

As much mojo as possible will be left with this guitar!

This guitar is all original and shows many signs of years of play. I tried my best to capture the blemishes in the photos. That being said, this is one of best condition L50s I have seen. Neck is straight and does respond to truss rod. There is fret wear, but plenty of life remains in the original frets. Spruce top, Brazilian rose wood fret board and bridge, maple back and sides, standard trapeze tailpiece, bound neck, bound body, 5 ply pick guard (bwbwb). I have debated a number of times on replacing the tuners....because of the cracks on the buttons due to age, but they work great and are part of the original guitar. The vintage hard case is included. It is functional, but is beat up. Plush lined in green.

Has a very warm tone. A collector\'s piece and a player\'s piece all in one.

I\'m happy to answer any questions. Shoot me a message and we can speak via phone if you are a serious potential buyer. If shipped, the only way I will do it is to have the UPS Store be responsible for professional packing and shipping. This cost will fall to the buyer. I can meet face to face in the Austin/San Antonio TX area.....shipping would be knocked off the price if we do a local pick up. Ask plenty of questions if you have any because I do not deal in returns. If shipped, the proper insurance will also be purchased.

Guitar will come with an appraisal and certification from a professional vintage guitar dealer in Austin, Texas. This certification will include all the details on the guitar including woods used, condition, where it was made, when it was made, etc, etc.
