If you've been on the hunt for a vintage L-7 but wish their features were a little more modern, this is the one for you! It's been modified with an added 2010 Gibson '57 Classic humbucking pickup and CTS pots. Also replaced on this guitar were the bridge (now a newer Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge), the pickguard, and the tailpiece, which was swapped out for a newer chrome trapeze tailpiece. This guitar has accrued a fairly standard amount of wear for a 1940s instrument, with its most notable damage being a few gouges on the side near the neck and one small crack at the waist that has been cleated. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have about its modifications or condition.

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Good Vintage condition with normal wear for an instrument of this age, including scratches, scrapes, repaired cracks, natural aging of finish, and other signs of normal handling and use. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.  

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
