Gibson / Late 1940s L-48 Dish Inlay

L-48 has a strong image of dot position mark,
This one features a dish inlay.
The L-48 archtop guitar was introduced in 1946, but some of them had these specifications in the early stages of production.
This guitar also has a 16" wide body, mahogany top, 1-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, single binding on the top and back, and a simple design with no binding on the neck.
Based on the above specs, it is estimated to be an early example from the late 1940s.

The original Hakaranda bridge is mounted. The bridge has a very tight and colorful texture.
Fingerboard is also Hakaranda with sweet color and grain.
The pegs have been replaced with recent Cruson single line.

Both the looks and sound of this guitar are full of flavor.
