1949 Gibson L-7C Sunburst
Here's a 1949 Gibson L-7C in Sunburst finish. Amazing cutaway example, with the rare original Double McCarty pickup and pickguard assembly (with 1/4" jack). 17" body, hand-carved solid spruce top, solid figured maple back, three-piece maple neck, solid Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with split-parallelogram mother of pearl inlays. The guitar plays outstanding! The action is low from top to bottom. The guitar sounds great both acoustic and plugged in. It's loud, full, and clear unplugged. The original single coil McCarty pickups (introduced at the 1948 NAMM Convention) are fat/full, and also very clear. As you can see, a piece of the guitar disenigrated/broke off between the two pickups, but the rest of the guard and assembly are completely structurally sound, and functioning perfectly. OHSC!
