Description

This 1949 L-5 is a well-worn player with a handful of modifications. The maple used is truly a beautiful piece with wonderful figuring. There were several holes doweled throughout the instrument and finished over. The G-string tuner no longer held tension, so it was replaced with a new version with a gold tuning key.

Includes Lifton hard shell case (Duct taped in several places).
