Description
1932 round sound-hole L-50This round sound-hole example has an unusual body shape that appears only to have been used in 1932. The odd ?mini-dreadnought? shaped body measures 14 5/8? across the lower bout, 18 1/4? long and 3 1/4? deep.The top is carved in a slightly domed shape without recurve. The flat back is braced and is a thin 2 ply laminate with a figured maple layer showing on the exterior.The lack of back binding, silk-screened rather than inlayed headstock logo and glued down rather than raised pickguard make it a less fancy guitar than the 1932 f-hole L-50 pictured elsewhere. courtesy of D Buetttner
