FOR TRADE 1936 Gibson L-30 Acoustic Archtop Guitar

This guitar is for TRADE ONLY. I will look at any 30s - 60s vintage flattop acoustic guitar with a functioning truss rod, preferably a Gibson. Vintage Gibson electrics will also considered. Depression-era, flat-back, archtop, small-body acoustic guitar. It is essentially an archtop version of the iconic L-00 of the same period. Huge mahogany neck with a slight-V shape. Comes with original celluloid pick guard. Solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides. FON within the F-hole confirms a manufacture date of 1936. Truss rod works perfectly, no dead spots on the fretboard. Plenty of life in the current frets. Tuner buttons were replaced but they are the original Kluson 3-in-a-line tuners. Some slight divots on the fretboard in the “cowboy chord” areas that don’t affect playability. Fretboard is original brazilian rosewood. There is a top crack that was professionally repaired by 30th Street Guitars. The guitar is properly humidified and safeguarded within a $600 TKL case.
