Today we have a well cared for 1950 Gibson L-7CE Arch Top Guitar! It comes with its original case, hang tag and factory #mccartypickup . Link in our profile. - This is a factory L-7CE ("E" for electric) as confirmed by the original hang tag still in the case. The other features on this L-7C are the same as the standard acoustic model and typical for the period. The neck is maple with a center laminate, the top is carved spruce and the rim and back are maple. The neck and headstock are single bound, with triple binding on the top and back. The pearl inlay is a parallelogram pattern on the rosewood fingerboard with Gibson's traditional crown on the headstock. - - - - - #retrofretvintageguitars #vintagearchtop #vintageguitar #guitarsofinstagram #archtopguitar #gibsonl7ce #gibsonarchtopguitar #vintageacousticguitars #guitarforsale #gibsonsofinstagram #vintagearchtop #guitarlove #guitars #guitarworld #guitardaily #guitarsofinstagram #guitargasm #jazzguitar #gibsonlover #gibsonl7c #jazzguitars #vintagegibson #swingguitar #gibsonguitar #gibson #gibsonarchtop https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNDHMBOMh8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A pair of late 60s #Gibson 175s in spectacular condition spotted at @12fretguitar #Toronto. The first shot is a 1967 #ES175 TD in sedate, dignified, Gibson dark sunburst. It’s in marvellous condition. Just the lightest of lacquer checking on the back and virtually none on the top. If I had a few spare bucks I’d have loved to add this one to the collection. The second shot (swipe left) is a 1969 ES175 in a lighter, more playful and cheeky ‘burst. This one is also in incredible condition and would make a nice addition to any #guitar collection. Especially mine. 😆 #gibsunday #hollowbody #jazzbox #archtop #vintagearchtop #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography (at The Twelfth Fret Guitarists' Pro Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbYioRBowR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=woqsyt4rop32

Just arrived for #gibsunday a Gibson L-4N Carved Arch Top Acoustic Guitar in its original brown hard shell case! - Link in our profile. - This 1951 Gibson L-4 N is a carved-top guitar with a 16" body and midline appointments, by this point the company's top quality F-hole instrument available in this body size. This one has the additional deluxe feature of a clear natural finish, always an upscale option at Gibson. The guitars ranked beneath this one (the L-50 and L-48) were considered student models, making the L-4 the only professional-grade choice in this smaller-body format. The next model up, the L-7 was a full 17" body instrument. The serial number on this guitar's old-style white oval label dates shipment to December 1951, one of only 75 sold that year. The non-cutaway L-4N was already headed for oblivion, the numbers quickly dwindling with the single final straggler shipped in 1955. - - - - #gibsonl4 #gibsonl4n #vintagearchtop #vintagearchtopguitar #gibsonarchtop #solidtoparchtop #guitarforsale #rhythmguitar #blondearchtop (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaoGp7udsz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here is a beautiful and rare classic vintage Arch Top that we seldom see and at this writing is still available. It is a blonde 1940 Stromberg Deluxe Arch Top Acoustic Guitar! - I’ll put the link in our profile so you can read all about its very interesting history. Here’s your chance! - All Stromberg guitars are rare; older published estimates run around 600 made, but recent analysis shows the serial numbers appear to start at 300, so the total is likely less than 350 guitars ever built, likely 150 or fewer with a carved, single brace top. Each is a unique gem. This 17 1/2" Deluxe is earlier to handle than the 19" Master 400 but a far superior instrument to the earlier 16" and 17" models that lack a carved top. This blonde beauty is the top 1940 Stromberg model that was NOT 19" wide, a size some players find awkward. The sound is very powerful but sweeter than many larger models; it has more richness to the tone than many Strombergs are credited with and is a worthy challenger to any pre-war L-5, Epiphone Deluxe or (dare we say it?) D'Angelico Excel. Even many experienced players have never encountered a genuine 1940s Stromberg; we find this one enchanting and a pure pleasure to play. - - - - - #retrofretvintageguitars #guitar #vintageguitar #guitarsofinstagram #archtopguitar #vintageacousticguitars #guitarforsale #gibsonsofinstagram #vintagearchtop #guitarlove #guitars #guitarworld #guitardaily #guitarsofinstagram #guitargasm #jazzguitar #jazzguitars #swingguitar #strombergguitar #strombergguitars #elmerstromberg #madeinboston #handmadeguitars #freddiegreen #rareinstrument #rareguitar (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCLLTjurKe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy New Year to all! Here’s a D’Angelico Style A Arch Top Acoustic Guitar, made in New York City in 1938! It comes with its original black hard shell case. - Link found in our profile. - This instrument is an worn in but very stately D'Angelico Style A built in 1938, a time when John D'Angelico was flowering as a builder, moving beyond his initial Gibson and Epiphone inspiration to create truly unique guitars. While his later creations became ever more sophisticated, these earlier guitars are still exceptionally fine instruments and among the best of the swing era regardless of style. - - - - #dangelicostylea #johndangelico #swingeraguitar #vintagearchtop #dangelicoguitars #jazzguitars #vintagedangelico #archtopguitar #archtopguitarmaker #archtopguitarsofinstagram #archtopguitarforsale (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm6_-NQOZel/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
