Seller's description

Often called the 'poor mans' L-5, the L-50 was actually quite different not only in cosmetics but for its 16" body with a carved spruce top matched with a unique solid bookmatched maple back. The maple on the back is gorgeous and worn well, it is pronounced and beautiful to look at. This particular example shines as one of the better '40s examples, with quite a bit of volume and bite. It appears to be in mostly original shape with a replaced tuner, tuner buttons and pickguard. It is setup perfectly with a straight neck, room to adjust action on the thumbwheels and besides the wear shown in the provided photos, structurally its all sound. This guitar does not have a serial but has been dated to '46 based on the specs, comes with a non original used case.
