Here's a 1952 Gibson L-7C in black/ebony finish. No breaks, cracks. Amazing rare example of this cutaway L-7 archtop. The guitar features a 17-inch lower bout, with a hand-carved solid spruce top, maple back and sides, a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and split-block inlay markers. This example is also equipped with its original dual McCarty floating pickup system, which was introduced at the 1948 NAMM Show. The Gibson pickups, which are similar to P90's (albeit slightly thinner), has volume and tone controls. They sound amazing! Clear, punchy, and articulate. Acoustically the guitar sounds great too. It's very full and warm, with really great clarity. The nut measures 1 11/16" and has a comfortable full feeling C neck profile. The action is low from top to bottom and plays with complete ease. The original frets are still in nice condition. Fantastic overall example. OHSC!
