.... AN ALL ORIGINAL 1950 GIBSON L-48.  16" BODY WITH A SUBSTANTIAL NECK.  CONSIDERED AN ENTRY LEVEL GUITAR FOR GIBSON.  AMAZING QUALITY, VERY SOLID OLD GUITAR.  GOOD PLAYER.  JUST THE SLIGHTEST FRET WEAR ON THE FIRST FRET.  NO FRETBOARD WEAR.  FINISH IS VERY GOOD, JUST STARTING TO CRACK AND CRAZE.  HAS SOME DINGS AND DENTS BUT NOT VERY MANY.  SINCE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY PLAY WEAR I WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THE WEAR IS FROM HANDLING.  TUNER BUTTONS HAD DETERIORATED SO I HAD THEM REPLACED WITH NEW.  HAS A FINISH CRACK, POSSIBLY A GRAIN CRACK ON THE BACK OF THE GUITAR NEAR THE NECK BLOCK.  YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE PICTURE OF THE BACK.  DOESN'T MOVE SO I THINK ITS A FINISH CRACK OR A GRAIN CRACK THATS VERY SMALL.  I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT ITS SOLID AND HAS NO MOVEMENT...  THIS OLD GUITAR IS A REAL GOOD EXAMPLE OF AN OLD GIBSON ARCHTOP GUITAR...  WILL SHIP IN A NEW GUARDIAN CASE.  CASE COULD FIT BETTER BUT IT PROTECTS THE GUITAR WELL.......  LOOK OVER THE PICTURES CAREFULLY....  WE ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.  NEED MORE PHOTOS?  JUST LET US KNOW WHAT PICS YOU WANT/NEED.  WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE THIS A GREAT SALE.....
