For sale is this Gibson L-50 guitar. The serial number defintively identifies 1953 as the year of birth.
The guitar is in very good structural condition and also very good cosmetic condition notwithstanding 2 areas (as pictured) with through-the-finish scratches.
The frets and fretboard are in very good shape but could use a light cleaning.
The original plastic buttons on the tuning pegs have disintegrated. Well-regarded, era-appropriate reproduction buttons are available for purchase from Elderly Instruments.
Also included is the original faux-aligator chipboard case which is also in very good condition overall but with imperfections as picutured.
