1931 Gibson L1-Custom Sunburst

Description

Don't see too many of these!! Here is a "one-of-a-kind" custom ordered Gibson L1 from 1931. Seems that R.J. Wilcox (on headstock) ordered this with the most elaborate custom inlays and pickguard I have ever seen Gibson produce. Apparently he was a well know guitarist in the 30s and 40s. (see the Corpus Christi newspaper ad from 1940 advertising his teaching ability) The headstock, the bridge, the pickguard, and especially the fretboard are covered with flowers and vines. It is 100% original and in excellent condition. Just two hairline cracks on the mahogany back. Plays and sounds amazing... for the serious collector. Comes with original soft case.
