This long-running Gibson archtop went through several design changes in the '30s and '40s including changes in hardware and body dimensions. Like other Gibsons, there was also some inconsistencies in production during World War II.

If the instrument had "f" holes, this number was ink stamped in the bass side "f" hole on the inside back of the instrument. If the instrument was a flat top guitar, this number was ink stamped inside the round soundhole on the inside back of the guitar.

Both f hole and round hole models have ladder bracing. 1933 L-50 specs: Second body style is like the 1932 body but the sound hole moves closer to the neck (and become slightly smaller), the waist slightly narrows, and total body length shortens a little.

This 1947 Gibson L-50 is a quality "jazz-box" player with a crisp tone that really projects. The mahogany neck feels fast and plays smooth across the board. As with many instruments of this vintage, the guitar has character and wears its years of play without looking beat-up.
