1937 Gibson L-00 3/4 Sunburst

Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this 1937 L-00 3/4 size guitar is dialed in and ready to go. In Good vintage condition with normal wear for an instrument of this age, including scratches, dings, and natural aging of finish and parts. The guitar is playable but would benefit from a neck reset. Also the top is bellying up behind the bridge and we believe it would be advisable to remove and re-glue the bridge. There is a glued top crack extending from the fingerboard to the soundhole which is a common occurrence on vintage acoustic guitars. There are some cracks below the bridge which are not glued but are stable. Lastly, there is an impact fracture on the back which has been glued and cleated. See below for more details and specifications.

Notwithstanding the issues described above, this is a rare and beautiful guitar that is well worth the investment of some TLC. The guitar has been priced with the condition and needed repairs in mind. Please feel free to contact us at the Shop for an in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have.
