Welcome back to another Vault Friday! Each Friday I’ll venture into the Vault with one of our instrument specialists to showcase some of the cool stuff we’ve got hidden away in there.

We’ve got another used piece this week: A 2007 Gibson L7-C Archtop Guitar. This guitar is from the Gibson Custom Shop and features some beautiful tightly flamed maple on the back and boasts incredible volume from its 17-inch frame and is adorned with classic styling. These guitars are based on the Gibson L-7′s of the late 1940s, one of the most popular archtop guitars in history. It’s in great condition – feel free to drop by and try it out!

As this is a used piece, it’s not available on our website. For more information on it, give JC a call at (800) 635-2021 ext. 7124.
