This 1931 Gibson L-2 is a highly distinctive example from the company’s pre-war production, finished in Argentine Gray and trimmed with Gold Sparkle purfling. This is a particularly rare spec and coveted item for early Gibson collectors. It has the beloved dry tone perfect for recording or as a subdued songwriting companion. Over the years, the guitar has received professional restoration and maintenance, including a neck reset, refret, replacement Indian rosewood bridge, reglued fingerboard, repaired neck crack, reglued tail block, and replacement nut, saddle, and pins. Various areas of finish touch-up and overspray are present, including around the heel, back, fingerboard extension, and top. All the repair work is top notch, and the guitar still retains its unique appeal. Includes period correct hard shell case.
