Vintage 1939 Gibson L-0 HG Conversion Sunburst

Condition of Instrument

Great Condition overall with play wear throughout. This guitar’s neck and bridge were converted from Hawaiian style. A neck reset has already been completed as well as a full re-fret, new nut and saddle. A full refret, new nut and saddle have also been completed. Hide glue was used in crack repair near pickguard. All work was completed by Woodsongs Lutherie in Boulder, CO. Includes non-original Taylor hardshell case.

Tonal Evaluation

This is an especially responsive instrument with impeccable clarity across its exceptionally wide dynamic range. The mix of overtones to fundamental here is especially nice with particularly satisfying sustain and fullness in the high end. Folks, this one is special!
