Wow. PM sent

Impressive! You have (had?) a very eclectic taste.
Is it an optical illusion or the plastic Mac looks like it has a super small scale compared to the L7.

guitarmike

The plastic Mac is not a full sized guitar. The L7 has a 17" body size.

How's the volume on the Gibson L7?
Do you know any of the history of the guitar, repairs, non original parts?
Haven't seen many Block inlay fretboards, I thought they were more of a 30"s thing. Eddie Lang had an Block inlay L5
Is there a label you can photo?
Thanks
pick on

The L7 is just like an L5 without all the fancy stuff. Sounds the same.
Carved top and carved back.
Not as loud as a good Gypsy jazz guitar but almost.
It's from 1946 ( white oval label ) Serial number in the A serie with 3 digit.
In the 60's the fretboard was change for an ebony one. . I have a replacement fretboard ( with fret, binding, etc..)
It is the reason why I am letting it go for that price. It is a great guitar.
Never broken, cracked or anything..
