Description

A beautiful sounding example of Gibson's original flattop design! The L-1 was re-designed in 1926 to transition from an archtop model to a flattop. The guitar features a 12-fret neck joint, a 14 3/4" body, and a H-brace bracing scheme. This particular example is in nice playing condition. It has a replaced fingerboard, a neck reset, a new bridge, new nut/saddle, five cleated top cracks, finish overspray on the neck/back/sides, and two small side cracks at bass-side waist. Comes with a Hard Case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
