Up for sale is a vintage Gibson L-48 hollowbody archtop guitar. This guitar was made in 1952, factory order number Z37331. Some time in its life, it had a DeArmond Gold Foil pickup installed, as well as some controls and an input jack. The guitar is structurally sound, but does have quite a bit of wear, scratches and dings. It plays and sounds good and appears to be fully functional when we tested it. It comes in a vintage Lifton case with custom paint, that is structurally okay, but does have some cracks and lots of cosmetic wear. Check out the pictures. Reverb limits me to 25 pictures, so it there's something else you want to see, let me know.
