Thank you all for the warm welcome to the Gibson world. I had a couple electric Gibson's but never loved them, this guitar changed my perspective of the brand.
I did put the pickguard bracket down when i cleaned it, it has one small patched crack (seems professionally done) but it sounds so beautiful. I'm officially a fan of Gibson acoustics.
Funny part is i only paid 400$ for this guitar, quite a deal for an all original 59 Gibson. I guess same people that made the infamous 59 Les Paul's made my guitar and it sure shows. I found myself a keeper!

Hi all,
Today I bought a Gibson L-48 with a ton of wear and some minor issues but a lot of soul. I could really use your expertise to get answers to some of my questions. The guitar is in all original condition at the moment. It's D and G tuners are a little bent and just overall not great. The nut is chipped near low E and it looks kind of strange honestly. It's also missing both dot inlays on 12th fret. Even with all this issues and sporting a set of electric 10 gauge strings (I apologize for that) this thing sounds amazing. I'll honestly admit that after owning numerous pricey modern guitars i finally get the vintage magic, this guitar seems incredible to me.
I'd like to ask a question. Can someone date S130914 serial? From what i found online it's dated to 1959 but not sure. I already ordered some flats, inlay dots, new tusq bone nut and new tuners. Thanks for bearing with me and reading, sorry for the rant

Thank you!
I got d'addario 13's to start with, we'll go from there. I feel like I shouldn't even bother with all the upgrades since it plays amazing and stays in tune as it is, but more of a good thing can't be bad.
I will keep the original parts as part of the vibe and story as i really don't see myself selling this guitar. Sure the honey moon ain't over, but it's monetary value is way lover than the joy of playing it!
