Description

Up for sale is a beautiful, vintage 1959 Gibson L-50 archtop acoustic guitar in excellent, all-original condition. This is a final-year model of the L-50, crafted in Gibson’s legendary Kalamazoo, Michigan factory.

The Factory Order Number (FON) inside the body reads S1900 13, confirming it was built in 1959, the last year Gibson produced this classic archtop. These late-run L-50s are increasingly sought after for both their tone and collectibility.
