R101 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hello Everyone, I am a new poster, Just registered yesterday. Looks like this forum will furnish a lot of information. I am looking for some information on my old Gibson guitar. I have had it over 50 years. I believe it may be the L-50. Someone at a guitar repair service suggested it could be this model. He thought it was a 1935 model. I will try to post a photo. If I can't, I'll post it later when I learn how as this is all new to me. I think the photo loaded. Any information would be greatly appreciated r101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It does appear that it might be an L-50, but it's hard to be certain from the one photo. The "script" logo on the headstock does point to a prewar date. Here's a webpage where you might be able to confirm what you have. Scroll down the page about three quarters of the way, and you'll see the specs for the various lower-budget acoustic archtops that Gibson was producing at the time. Pay attention to measurements, wood types, etc. http://www.guitarhq.com/gibson2.html Does your guitar have any numbers stamped inside? You can shine a light through the f-holes and search around inside. Here's a page where you can find details about serial numbers and factory order numbers: http://www.guitarhq.com/gibson.html#serial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
