Here we have a super cool 1930s Gibson L-00. As you will notice, the guitar has lots of honest playwear. The guitar has had numerous restorations done to it over the years, many of which have recently been corrected and made solid.

The repairs that were recently addressed include numerous top cracks that have been resealed and along with a new, oversized maple bridge plate nicely done reason for putting a larger bridge plate was the top had had a oversized bridge on it at one point in its life and needed a top patch underneath the bridge to make everything solid. This is the reason for refinishing the top. With a nitrocellulose lacquer aged shade top finish to match the rest of the guitar. Guitar has also had a replacement celluloid lacquer in tortoise. Pick Gard made for it as well. The guitar has also had numerous back cracks that have been resealed and repaired, along with all four original braces being reglued at eyelids.

The guitar has recently received a neck reset, correcting the geometry of the instrument, along with a new replacement Brazilian rosewood bridge with a bone saddle. The guitar has also been refretted and received a new bone nut and saddle.

The rest of the guitars finish is original along with its original tuners. All interior bracing is original minus the bridge plate.

As you can see from the photos, the guitar has lots and lots of nicks, chips, dings, dents, and superficial blemishes throughout. Honestly, this guitar is one of the most vibey instruments I've had in a while. It has had lots of repairs, but it plays great and sounds wonderful.

The guitar comes with an aftermarket case. Please feel free to ask any other questions you might have.
