Description


The "L-50" was first sold in 1932, with an arched-top body and round holes. By 1934, the body shape was changed to a beautiful slender body with a narrow waist, similar in size to L-00. By 1950, the specifications had settled down to some extent, and the model was sold for a long time, but in 1971, with the dawn of the flat-top and the rise of the electric guitar, it was quietly reissued along with its sibling, the "L-48". In 1971, it was quietly discontinued along with its sibling, the "L-48".

Rugged sound with short sustain, dead tone, but direct and clean powerful output. The dry tone is perfect for American roots music such as blues, ragtime, and swing jazz.

The L50 was made in 1950 and has a dry sound with good resonance.
Spruce top, maple side and back, and Hakaranda fingerboard and bridge.
The entire body is covered with fine weather checks, giving it a very dignified atmosphere unique to the 1950s.
There are some scratches and scuffs from playing, but there are no cracks or repairs, and the guitar is in good condition for a guitar over 70 years old.
The original frets are still in place and the guitar is still playable.

The sound is bright and crisp like an archtop.
The nuance when cutting is hard to express on a flat top.
The low end is also well defined, which suits bluesy fingerpicking.

There are about 80% frets left, and the neck has no warping or twisting that would be a concern.
The case is non-original, but a hard case is included.
Pegs, pickguard, and strap pins have been replaced.
