What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good (some staining of the binding in multiple places, pictured)

Though this beautiful L7-C started its life as an acoustic instrument, the post-factory installed Kent Armstrong PAF pickup takes it up to a new level.  Unamplified, the tone is punchy and mid-focused, recalling the cutting tone the bandstand demanded. Plugged in, you get more of everything you'll love about the sound of this guitar, but with the added benefit of a tone knob for rolling off the highs for a smokier, darker jazz tone!

SP Luthier Notes: Partial fret dress and setup. No endpin/strap button currently installed.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
