Description

This beautiful 1935 Gibson L-50, a testament to Gibsons historic craft, has awesome playability with rich archtop tone. This guitar retains its original finish, imbuing it with a classic Gibson sunburst, while selected refinements enhance its playability and performance. Re-fretted, this guitar invites concise playing on top of a hand filling V-shape neck. This L-50 was outfitted at one point with a piezo bridge to allow it to be amplified. The replaced tailpiece and tuner buttons ensure reliability without sacrificing its timeless allure. Whether unplugged or amplified, this L-50 promises to be a fantastic instrument for any player or collector. Comes with the original 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.
