NEW ARRIVAL 1936 is the first year of issue of the Gibson L30, and this is a beautiful example in a fantastic looking tobacco sunburst, with very desirable script logo. The tone is voiced beautifully for blues, jazz and swing, has a very comfortable neck - quite chunky - and a great playing action all the way up the neck. It has the kind of playwear you'd expect from a 82 year old guitar, and lots of great looking lacquer checking. The guitar is in good condition, with two repaired back crack.s and one repaired top crack. This guitar looks, feels and sounds fantastic, and has the kind of vintage vibe that is impossible to replicate in a reissue. It comes in a non original hard case.
