This 1953 Gibson L-50 is just into the shop on trade! While it remains in mostly original condition, the pickguard is an aftermarket addition; and a soundboard transducer pickup has been added as well. Boasting a full, throaty sound thanks to its 16" body depth, this L-50 is a dynamite value for a player interested in a vintage carved-top archtop; and its got the handsome looks & vibe to complete the package. Condition: on the vintage scale, we'd rate it "very good." While there are plenty of the typical dings and scratches associated with 70 years of use, the structure and neck angle of the guitar remain excellent. It's well set-up, and plays cleanly up and down the neck. Priced with RoadRunner thermoplastic hard case.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
