1939 Gibson L Century     EXC -   Here is a beauty. The "minus" is because of the one pro repaired stable crack in the flame maple back. There's also a repaired hairline on the top going from the bridge down to the bottom. It's got the wide sunburst on the top typical of the later models. Pearl inlays in rosewood insets in the M.O.T. fingerboard. Very unusual non-M.O.T. ebony veneered, pearl inlayed headstock and original tuning pegs. Flame maple sides are crack free. A few scratches around the bottom. Nice comfortable "C" neck profile. Beautiful hard shell case seem more like late 40's early 50's to me but it's sure a nice one. This guitar is set up great and is really fun to play. Plus it's about the best sounding one of these that I've run across.
I' willing to ship at actual insured cost but Reverb requires a stated amount.  Most folks buying direct from here just pay it.  Whatever. It's easy to figure out how to contact me.
