Description

Made as a budget model in 1950, this mahogany topped archtop has a great throaty midrange and a comfortable neck! It has replaced tuners / tailpiece and the finish has been buffed so it has a nice smooth feel when playing. The frets are in good condition with light wear that doesn't effect playability. This guitar is hard to beat for a post war archtop - punching way above its weight!

Includes its original Gibson chipboard 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.
