Description

This 1930s Gibson L-50 features a sunburst spruce top with maple back and sides, paired with a mahogany neck and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. Its substantial V-profile neck measures .995" at the first fret and 1.125" higher up, with a 24.75" scale, 12" radius, and 1.779" nut width. Original open-gear Grover tuners remain in place.

The guitar has a non-original ebony bridge, pickguard, and associated hardware. Additional alterations and wear include extra holes in the top, a jack hole in the side, and repaired or stabilized cracks in the top and back. Overall, it remains in good condition and includes a hardshell case.
