Howdy
Folks,
Here we have a 1950 Gibson L-7CE, Genuine PAF Pickup!! OHSC, 1959
Gibson letter!
Serial # A5322 (White Label) FON # 2328 9A late 50's PAF Humbucker, Tone and
Volume controls with period correct shields, were added most likely in the 50's
by Gibson (according to the previous owner, but not verified). There is a
letter from Gibson dated 1959 with instructions for adjusting the action which
appears to be an answer to the owner's inquiry. The work is factory looking and
was probably done at that same time. Frets have a lot of life left with a
small hump in the fingerboard between the 14th and 16th fret which does not
affect playability, but can be spotted by a sharp eye. The guitar has seen very
little play and wear of any kind. Has some buckle rash on the back and some
pick scratches, but way above average for its age. A non-original strap button
was added at the base of the neck. Black light shows no variations in finish or
obvious repairs. Period correct brown case is in decent condition for its
age with a replacement handle. Has a loose pick pocket top flap which is not a
concern for the guitar's protection and could be easily glued back in
place. The price is firm so no offers or trade will be accepted. This is
not eligible for returns due to its vintage classification. Please take a look through the pictures and let us
know if you have any questions on the guitar.

USED/VINTAGE GEAR:
We want to be HONEST here----
Used
and Vintage gear is, by definition, old and fragile. This gear is subject to
age and handling wear. Scuffs and scrapes, dents and dings, repairs,
modifications and replacements all are to be expected. So, while Guitar
Showcase strives to accurately document and describe each piece we list, we can
only accept responsibility for what we detail in the listing and what is
visible in the photos. Guitar Showcase is eager to verify any additional
details necessary to address any concerns you may have: just make sure to
contact us with any questions you may have before bidding or buying. Beyond this, Guitar Showcase
can offer no guarantee and can accept no returns on Used or Vintage gear.
Please be sure you know what you are buying, and please do not think that
older, used and Vintage Instruments should be set up in perfect playing
condition.
For
high priced Vintage instruments, we highly recommend that you either have a
local friend try the Instrument or come in and try it in person.
CONSIGNED GEAR:
Some of the gear in
the Guitar Showcase eBay store is listed on behalf of a consignor. These
pieces are not the property of Guitar Showcase and as such we can accept no
returns on any consigned equipment. Consigned gear is also subject to the
same stipulations as Used and Vintage gear, as described above. Please
make sure to contact us with any questions you may have before bidding on or buying any consignment item.
INTERNATIONAL SALES:
Some listed items
that contain Rosewood and other protected species may be ineligible for
international sale; please make sure to read listing details carefully. For
eligible sales, Guitar Showcase is happy to offer international shipping
through USPS to select countries, with calculated shipping cost based on
location. Please contact us PRIOR to purchase for an exact shipping quote
to your country. Due to additional expense and complication, we are
unable to accept returns on any international sales and
all payments must be pre-arranged, please contact us for details. CAUTION, SEE
BELOW!
Beginning
Jan.2, 2017, CITES documentation is
required for import and re-export of many newly listed wood species (including
all Rosewoods, not just Brazilian) and items made from them (like Guitars and
their parts). These new rules will not allow the import or export of most
Vintage Guitars and many newer Guitars and other instruments. We are not
able to furnish the required permits at this time, and in the foreseeable
future. You may be able to carry a personally owned Instrument across
your border, but we cannot guarantee this, nor be responsible for the consequences
and you are advised to check with your Country’s authorities before attempting
to do so. The Instruments may be confiscated by Customs or Border Authorities!
