1946 Gibson L-50 in excellent condition with very light wear. Single family owned.
Passed down from the original owner, my grandfather, to my father, and then to me. It was stored in its original hardshell case until 2016 when it was moved to a new hardshell case, which is included (original case is gone). Mostly in temperature controlled storage in a house for last 40 years
In May of this year we brought it to Willies Guitars in St Paul to replace the tuner knobs, but the original set comes with it if you want to put them back on. Willies also set the bridge, added a strap endpin to the back, and did a general set up so it plays beautifully. No other modifications in its 80 year history. The serial number is worn off inside or impossible to see but I had Willie look up the model and information in the catalogs to find the year and confirm the model.
Stays in tune and has a tone only time can give you. Comes with a hardshell case, original tuner knobs, new leather strap, and I’ll share with you a picture of my grandpa playing it during the Korean war.
I live in downtown St Paul but can meet anywhere in the cities. Willing to drive 1 or 2 hours to meet a serious buyer.
