Instant vintage bluestone! Thanx for sharing! What hurts, though, are those Grovers on the headstock.:hmm

Hey Tom.. long time, sry..busy witht he kids, etc.

Yes, I got SO SO blindsided. This is an L-3, right ?? maybe an L-4 ?? Any way,

Yes, Grovers -check
Yes refinned with varnish-check
Yes, someone tried to 'improve' the label ON THE INSIDE OF THE GUITAR !!! with a MAGIC MARKER !!!!! (what kind of an idiot would mark over the label ??)

The guy brought it over in the back of his truck (in a case..whew)

looks like on the Gibby label, someone couldn't read parts of it so he 'traced' over it with a marker...

It is very rough, but it sounds pretty good.

Merry Happy Happy Tom...

Thanks for sharing.

My guess would be an early L 1- ca. 1920.
