USED Gibson / L-48 Sunburst [12]

The Gibson L-48 has arrived.
A classic vintage archtop guitar featuring rare mahogany sides and back.

The L-48 captivates with its rich, warm sound, born from the traditional 16-inch wide body and archtop construction.

Unlike the standard maple version, this particular instrument features mahogany sides and back, delivering a mellower, deeper tone that gives it a distinct character.

Additionally, the headstock features a silk-screened logo, adding to its vintage charm.

Built as a pure acoustic instrument without pickups, it combines delicate expressiveness with powerful projection, making it suitable for jazz, blues, and a wide range of genres.

Its aged patina is beautiful, making it a highly valuable collector's item. We recommend it to players seeking a unique tone and atmosphere.
There are three repair marks on the body sides.
Both the neck and body have been oversprayed, with some paint chipping on the neck and headstock, and overall weather checking is visible.
It has been refretted and reluted, and the tailpiece and pegs may not be original.
While showing signs of use, it has undergone maintenance and cleaning at our repair center, ensuring good playability.
