This 1965 Gibson L-48 represents the entry level Gibson acoustic archtop. Despite this, these guitars can have a really nice sound, and this one certainly does. With a mahogany top, the sound is certainly different than the usual spruce top guitars. Its not quite as bold and punchy as spruce with less mid focus. It's a nice variation for someone looking for something a little different than the common spruce top archtop
While made in 1965, the year Gibson started with a narrow nut width ... more

The frets are great with just a little wear on the first fret but it plays clean with no buzz. The ... more

This guitar was bought new recently and only played a handful of times. Only getting rid of it because I already have guitars that do a similar thing to this one. Lovely looking and sounding guitar though.
A modernized classic with quintessential hollowbody aesthetic and tone, the X-175 Manhattan Special looks as good as it sounds. With its gracefully sculpted and resonant hollowbody, arched spruce top, and three-piece neck it updates the classic Guild Manhattan models of the 1950??s and ... more

Wir geben diese sehr seltene und wohl aus der Schweizer Manufaktur stammende Grando Gitarre weiter
Da sie einen Roger Pick Up besitzt, könnte man sie mit einer selbigen Gitarre verwechseln
Ein befreundeter, weltweit arbeitender Gitarrentechniker hat mir folgendes zu der Gitarre geschrieben:
??Most likely built around 1940-1945??
The model you have there has most likely been modified and had the pickup added, but that only adds to its charm. It??s a wonderful piece of art and it??s... more

Good condition considering the age. About the size of a parlor guitar. Looks like a good platform for installing a pickup or converting to right handed use (which it seemingly used to be) due to screw holes on either side of the neck, input jack hole and pickguard mounting screw holes.

Vintage Archtop Guitar

Quirky old 1972 Guyatone with a booster switch and two p90s. They run on the hotter side especially with the booster - love using the neck for jazz and there is heaps of depth and personality in the tone but it was actually intended as a rockabilly guitar. If you put roundwounds on it, it sounds great playing twangier, snarly material.

Comes with a stock Bigsby style bridge - I have the arm off for storage but obviously included in sale
