Description

An absolutely gorgeous sounding L-48 featuring a mahogany top & sides with a maple back.  With a bright, powerful voice & super comfy neck, this beautiful archtop is a real joy to play.  Professionally inspected & set up ready to play straight out of the case.

Cosmetic Condition:  Good honest play wear just the way we like them - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches, weather checking & some mild finish wear.  Overall the guitar has a wonderful, authentic vintage vibe to it with a nice patina.

Neck:  Nicely rounded, semi-chunky mahogany neck with cream side-dots.  Dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.  Original frets show a tiny bit of wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Unoriginal open-gear nickel tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & plays well up & down the fretboard.

Body:  Double-bound archtop with dual F-holes.  Mahogany top in sunburst finish.  Nickel trapeze tailpiece & compensated rosewood bridge on a floating rosewood base.  Long tortoise pickguard.  Mahogany sides & arched maple back.  There are no electronics & the guitar weighs 4 lbs 10.6 oz.

Case:  Nice, Gator hardshell case included.
