Description

A great playing 17" archtop. The Gibson L-7 was produced between '34 and '56 and featured a Spruce top over a Maple back and sides. This example showcases a nice rippling figured Maple and beautiful finish checking throughout. This L-7 was well-loved and played often. It has replaced tuners and has had a re-fret so it feels great on top of sounding great! The pickguard and bracket will be included in a non original SKB case
