I just recently got this Acoustic Gibson. [smile]

I did a bit of looking around at some sites to come to the conclusion that this is a L3 but I want to make sure. Any information about this guitar would be helpful and much appreciated!

Below are 9 pics:

Well, L-3 can safely be ruled out -- that's an archtop and your guitar is a flattop.

 

IMHO, it's a 1937-42 L-0 with a replacement bridge and added tailpiece (which suggests the original bridge failed and there may be some top damage under there).
