'30s Gibson L-7 @ GC in (Canton) Mich. Has Anyone Checked it Out ?

Used Gibson L-7 Acoustic Guitar Sunburst | Guitar Center

I haven't called the local store yet. Not sure whether it has a tag, s/n or ? And, not sure how they'd do a ' re-locate for inspection', etc.
And even with their reduced price it's still high-buck.

I guess you never stop liking these......: )

Thanks

IME, Guitar Center is open to offers. It's at least worth a call to the local store to check on condition and see how low they'll go. I don't think they'll ship it to another store for you to inspect it without you paying for it. But if you have it shipped to the local store, their shipping is cheap, and they have a 45 day return policy, so you won't be out more than the cost of the shipping. I've now bought 2 used guitars and 1 used amp from GC. Managed to get them down a bit on the amp (a Quilter Aviator Cub).

FYI

I called and inquired...They told me there's no tag, s/n they provided shows it to be '35, top has center seam crack visible between trapeze t/p....
Orig chip case, frets are ok, but not sure if they're original......T/P looks pitted......
Didn't really address questions about top sag.....

Needs some tlc......looks like they'll still want to end up around $ 4000., which for me is more than plenty, and then some.....

Thanks !

Be careful with GC and "Vintage" instruments, the return policy on "Vintage" is only 3 days (Returns of the following products must be made within 3 days of purchase – Vintage instruments.). It's interesting that the L-7 in Canton is not marked as "Vintage" and there is no mention of year. I think that the GC considers Vintage at 30 years old (maybe earlier), so a lot of stuff from the 90's is starting to be considered "Vintage" at GC.
