1931 Gibson L-0 acoustic guitar - a pre-war 12-fret beauty

guitarz.blogspot.com:
Back to guitars again now after our double bass detour of the last few days...

Here's an old Gibson for you... it's a 1931 Gibson L-0 in gorgeous condition.

The neck joins the body at the 12th fret as was popular at the time, and I guess some might call this a "parlour guitar" although I always believed that parlour guitars had a much narrower body shape whereas this Gibson has some quite exaggerated curves.

Currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $3,995.

  2. Neck joins the body at the 12th fret just because in 1931 spanish guitars were everywhere and they still today join at the 12th fret. Beautiful instrument anyway, Iwish I had 4000 dollars!
