Description

From 1951 this Gibson L-48 is original with tons of play wear and mojo! This archtop sounds fantastic and is still in good shape for its age. It has had several finish drop fills on the top but is otherwise structurally sound.

This guitar comes with a gigbag.

*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.
