9.1 of 10 Condition - and that''s conservative! (some very light finish scratching. Missing pickguard. Comes with excellent condition original hardshell case and original Gibson hang tag)

Forget those others, this is the L7 to have. A one owner under the bed guitar that is 71 years old doesn't come around every day anymore - with a super clean case and a hang tag yet! We do, however, need to replace the pickguard as it disintegrated at some point (probably from being kept in the case too long) but luckily did not do any damage to the top (and we still have the original bracket). The sound is big, fat and with great projection. You could add a DeArmond or a Johnny Smith pickup and you'll be all ready start comping behind a big band or let it remain fully acoustic and enjoy it's sweet articulation for solo chord melody work. We, here at Golden Age, simply adore this guitar! Just take a look at the pix.
