Gibson Vintage Vintage

Vintage charm meets raw acoustic tone in this 1940s Gibson L-48 Stripped archtop guitar, a relic with stories to tell. In fair condition, this player-grade instrument features a carved spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany neck topped with a rosewood fingerboard. The original sunburst finish has been removed, revealing the bare wood for a rugged, road-worn look. Boasting a 24.75" scale and 19 frets, this L-48 delivers the warm, woody resonance that made Gibson a legend. Ideal for collectors, slide players, or those seeking a true vintage vibe, it shows honest wear consistent with its age, including scratches, dings, and finish wear, but remains structurally solid and playable. A no-frills treasure with vintage mojo, this stripped-down classic proves that beauty is more than skin deep. Embrace the imperfections and own a piece of 1940s Gibson history. Extensive repairs to body and binding on back.
