Gibson L-48
Description
A vintage archtop full acoustic with a bitter, dry, muddy sound.
It has a warm and soft feel that is unique to mahogany tops, but it also has a cool tone with a dry and airy feel.
The L-48 is a model that was produced in 1946 as a low-cost model following a minor change to the L-50. Early versions had spruce and mahogany tops, but soon only mahogany tops were available.
With a simple dot position design, the warm and light sound creates an atmosphere.
The top and sides are mahogany, the back is maple, and the fingerboard is Jacaranda.
The pegs are original 1-line Kluson brass posts, and they work without any problems.
Jacaranda's adjustable bridge is original and works fine both up and down.
The pickguard body is a new replica, but the holder and tailpiece are both original.
Both the nut and frets are original and have been rubbed and adjusted, but there is almost no wear and tear.
Although it has some discoloration, it is in surprisingly beautiful condition. Although it has some signs of use, it is in clean and shiny condition.
It is a regular grip neck with a nut width of about 42.7 mm.
It is set straight and there is plenty of room for the adjustable rod.
The string height is set at 2.2 mm for the 6th string and 1.6 mm for the 1st string above the 12th fret. Since it is an adjustable bridge, you can adjust the height to your preference.
Although it is quite low, I am not particularly concerned about fins or clogging.
Among archtop acoustics, it has a slightly softer tone, with a warm sound and a natural reverb feel.
It has a withered, dry sound and is very popular as a blues guitar.
It has a unique sound, and I think it's great for slide blues as well.
Not only can it be used for cutting chords with a flat pick, but its muddy sound makes it a great instrument for playing old styles such as finger-picked blues, ragtime, and the Carter Family Style.
Comes with a general-purpose hard case.
