Vintage original circa 1914 Gibson L-1 acoustic.

Guitar plays remarkably well for one of these with a good neck angle and a great action. No buzz or issues. The neck is nice and straight and true all the way up and down.

Guitar retains its original finish with no top cracks! In fact we can't identify any cracks. It certainly has had a neck reset at some point, to the benefit of the instrument, as the neck angle is perfect.

Beautiful "The Gibson" logo.

Tuners are repro tuners and the bridge is old but not original to the guitar.

A very special guitar for the player and collector alike.

Comes with original case still in great shape!
