This L-7C returns to us from a customer who wanted to trade up to an L-5C, and is another from the golden era of archtops.  It comes with a similar vintage DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1100 pickup which was the top of the line floating pickup made by Rowe Industries and is the only one of theirs with adjustable poles. There is a reason these are so sought after....they sound amazing. I can offer a substantial discount if selling the guitar without the pickup and pickguard assembly.
 
The guitar itself shows scratches, nicks, and dings, but is completely free of cracks or breaks. The bridge is a replacement tune-o-matic and the tuners are aged modern Kluson reproductions.  The pickguard is an L-5C style reproduction with multi-ply binding.  The tailpiece is origial. The pickup, pickguard assembly is very easy to remove should the player want to experience the guitar's full acoustic potential, which is great. The guitar is a smooth and easy player, currently set up as an electric with low action. The neck is a comfortable full C, typical of a mid-1950s Gibson.
 
Weight - 5.1 pounds (with pickup and control box)
Nut width - 1.71 inches
1st fret depth - 0.97 inches
10th fret depth - 1.02 inches
 
The guitar comes with a non-original 1980s era 17-inch archtop case that fits the guitar very well.  All latches and hinges function appropriately.
