jedzep Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yikes!! What a specimen, in black, full white pick guard. Probably 1932-ish. Here's a page to peruse. There aren't many in such fine shape knocking around these days. http://www.guitarhq....ibson6.html#l00 Many will chime in here with more info. Some with vast experience in Gibsons of this era. What could it sell for? 6K anyway at the very top of the market. Condition and originality will greatly effect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedzep Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Here's a shot of your L00, Leona. Maybe there's a shopper lurking. I saw that you still had the original tuners, too. Top is spruce. Love these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 A beautiful guitar and my favorite variation of the vintage L-00: the 1932, tuxedo (black and white) version. I've got one just like it (on loan for the past year to a pro player in Nashville): I recommend that you consign it to a major vintage guitar shop. Yes, you'll pay a consignment fee in the area of 20% of the sale price. But, otherwise, unless you know a lot about the guitar and the vintage guitar market, you risk selling for too little. Thanks for posting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
