Description
While the Kel Kroydon seems to get the spotlight for this body shape, this 1932 Gibson L-1 is the on-brand equivalent in sunburst. The tonal response is insane with lightweight scalloped x-bracing. The wide lower bout provides ample bass response. If you have a light touch, this is the guitar for you. A conservative list of maintenance and repairs kept this L1 in incredible condition without compromising much of its originality. A stunning survivor.

Includes modern hardshell 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.
