The neck has a Kent Armstrong mini humbucker mounted to the sides of the tongue, and there is a filled hole on the bass side of the tongue from a previously installed pickguard. The tuners have been replaced, and the neck has been oversprayed. The original finish over the impressed serial number on the back of the headstock appears to have been lightly sanded away before overspraying. |

| Case Details: | Hardshell Case |
| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Gibson L-7 shows very nice aging and authentic wear, with attractive checking and various light scratches and dings on the glossy finish. There are signs of repair around the back edges of the guitar, likely from when the back was removed and reglued, as well as a slight gap between the neck heel and the back. These are cosmetic only and the body is structurally sound. The back of the body shows some heavier scratches, and the back of the neck is comfortably worn. |
| Serial Number: | EA5607 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief, and the truss rod is adjustable. The frets are tall with minimal play wear. The serial number, visible on the interior label and on the back of the headstock, along with the bracing pattern date the guitar to 1939. |
