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.
