Description

This archtop was likely a catalogue model produced by Gibson and sold under one of their Depression-Era "budget brands." It most closely resembles an L-50, however lacks a Gibson logo and features 3-on-a-plate tuners and a flat back. It has great dry, woody tone with exceptional punch. Perfect for blues, fingerstyle picking, and a variety of other genres, it's a versatile player. It's undergone some repair for braces, binding and several cracks.

Includes 70s import hard shell case.
