Help with price for a limited L2 Gibson

[Emil]

Im having a bit of a hard time pricing this one so im asking for help.
I’ve stumbled upon a used L2 custom shop from Gibson. There was 50 of them built a couple of years ago. It’s in great shape and comes with a case.

Adirondack Red Spruce top with RW back and sides. Rosewood fingerboard w/ 12″ radius, 25″ Scale length and a 1 3/4” Bone nut.
Scalloped x-bracing with nitro finish, hide glue.

Sorry for poor and stolen pictures:




It’s sounds great and plays just fine. But since they are so few around it’s a bit tricky to understand was a good price should be.

It’s priced at 2000 usd and i think it’s a bit steep but maybe im wrong here.
What would you guys pay for this one if you were looking for a smaller blues guitar?

I think this might be the same guitar with a pick guard.

Yes it looks like it. And with tax & VAT that one will then be more like 3000 usd for me. Looks like i was way off in my head regarding the price of the one here in Sweden.

Thanks!

Where did you find the L2? I might scoop it before you [emoji6]. Just kidding...

A curious "reissue" as the L2, of course, was never made in this body style never mind with scalloped bracing. Then again, Gibson is in the business of selling guitars not giving history lessons. Not a good or a bad thing but frustrating for those who love the sound the guitars from that era produced.

Then i will share no more information
It’s at No1 guitarshop in Gothenburg. Often their price tags are stolen from fantasy land but this some seems to be quite reasonable.
