Description

This 1936 Gibson L-37 is a fantastic example of early 20th century Gibson Craftsmanship. Emerging from an era celebrated for jazz and swing, this arch top beauty resonates with the charm and elegance of pre-war Gibson design. Its resonant sound provides a specific attack exclusive to an arch top guitar. While this L-37 has some play wear on the top, a missing pick guard, replaced tuner buttons and a re-fret, the guitar's spirit and tone remain pure, offering both vintage allure and functional reliability. A treasure for vintage collectors and players alike, this L-37 is a beautiful and unique instrument to add to any quiver.
