I believe this is a 1954 Gibson L48 guitar.  Definitely circa 1950s.  Fresh estate find.  Sounds magnificent.  I'm not a player, but a friend told me that the action is good.  It does not include the case.  The tuning knobs are very brittle and are crumbling.  That will need to be addressed.  You can see the scratch on the front by the pick guard.  Low starting bid and no reserve.  I see no cracks, breaks, holes or repairs.  Thank you.
