This 1940 Gibson L-7 is a 17" archtop built for serious players. Featuring a carved spruce top and stunningly figured maple back and sides, this example sports a Blonde finish that highlights its vintage character. Originally produced between 1934 and 1956, the L-7 is known for its rich tone and elegant appointments. This one has received several thoughtful repairs and updates to preserve its tone and enhance playability. See the Specs tab for a full list of details. Includes a Guild 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.
