1961 GIBSON L-7C SUNBURST

This gorgeous 1961 Gibson L-7C sunburst will capsize the hearts of archtop lovers!

The Gibson L-7C was manufactured from 1948 to 1972 to the same specifications as its cousin the L-5, a 17″ body, the solid spruce top is hand carved,

the back is solid maple, three pieces maple neck and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard.

Playability is great, the neck is comfortable, the frets were changed a few years ago but these are

in good condition.

The acoustic sound is powerful but not aggressive and maintains a nice roundness, the recent addition of a floating pickup is reminiscent of the famous model

Gibson « Johnny Smith » and thus allows you to connect it to an amp.

The guitar is in perfect condition, some signs of wear but no cracks on this beautiful 64 year old lady!

Delivered in non-original case.

Weight 2,740 kg / 6,04 lbs
