Players interested in a bold-sounding, purely acoustic archtop will delight at this guitar's huge tone and punchy response.

This 1951 Gibson L7-N has just come in for consignment. The natural-finish (hence the "N" in the guitar's nomenclature) L7 is, essentially, a stripped down version of Gibson's top-of-the line archtop, the L5. Whatever an L7 may lack in ornamentation is more than made up for in value: players interested in a bold-sounding, purely acoustic archtop will delight at this guitar's huge tone and punchy response.

The condition of this guitar couldn't be much better. Aside from a replaced tailpiece, it's completely original and in beautiful cosmetic condition. Its included hardshell case is from the late 1940's -- very, very cool, though not original to the instrument. On consignment; shipping calculated at checkout.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
