1950’s Gibson L-50 Archtop Natural – Very Good Condition – Great Player with Tons of Mojo

For your consideration is this 1950’s Gibson L-50, a classic vintage archtop with all the character, wear, and vibe you’d hope for from a well-loved old Gibson.

This guitar is in very good condition and shows lots of honest wear and mojo, giving it the kind of broken-in feel and vintage charm that only comes with decades of use. It has clearly been played and enjoyed over the years, and it wears that history well.

The guitar features a perfect neck set, making it an excellent player with low action and a very comfortable feel. It plays great up and down the neck, with only light fret wear remaining. The original pickguard is still in place, adding to its vintage appeal.

It does have replaced high-ratio tuners, which offer improved tuning precision and stability while keeping this old Gibson ready for regular use.

If you’re looking for a vintage Gibson archtop with real character, great playability, and the kind of wear collectors and players love to see, this L-50 is a wonderful example.

Comes with Non-Original hardshell case as shown (A-23)

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
