Description

Enjoy all that a 30s Gibson archtop has to offer with this 1933 Gibson L-50. With cool vintage character and authentic player wear, this L-50 is one of a kind, and features cozy worn-in tone. It's benefitted from a neck rest and refret, resulting in great playability. It remains largely original besides a replaced nut, bridge, pickguard screws and tuners.

Includes modern RoadRunner hard shell 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.
