Gibson / L-1 / 1931 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
Gibson L-1 from 1931 in very good condtion !
It's a pretty rare guitar. L-1 guitars were only made between 1926 and 1937
The FON on the neck block dates the guitar to 1931
Light as a feather (1299 grams) and rings like a bell. It's a very responsive guitar due to it's light construction (thin woods, slim braces, and thin finishes). Performs beautifully with light strings

Playware +++ on the top but no cracks

Had a refret and neck reset
Mahogany back (with simple white binding) and sides
Reglued RW rectangle bridge with a newer bridge plate
