raslo

Here are two full pictures . I'm very pleased with it, it's very clean, no cracks, low action, intonation spot on. Very little cosmetic wear, just missing the pickguard.

Thanks guys, when I look at the L50's it seems right. So I assume it's anearly '40's model? Can't seem to find the difference between an L48 and an L50.

I just bought this guitar - I'm very happy with it as a player - but I would like to know a little more about it. The guy I bought it from thought it was an L30 but I suspect it's an L48. Also he said it was mid-'30's; the coloration and headstock seem correct to this. However the tailpiece...I have never seen (wood) tailpiece on a Gibson before. They were common on war-time Epiphones, so I wonder if it is a replacement. Also I haven't seen black tuners on this model before. So I wondered if anyone has any opinion as to year and model? Thanks.
