Description

A fantastic archtop from the mid '50s! The Gibson L-7C was produced between '48 and '72 and featured a spruce top over a maple back and sides. This example has seen some changes over the years including replaced tuners, new pickguard and an added floating pickup. Repairs include four repaired top cracks, two side and one back crack as well as a neck set and back and sides overspray. This L-7 has an amazing sound that is full while still maintaining a wonderful mid jazzy punch.

Comes with a new black hard case
