With the serial number not visible all you have to go by are the features. Again, if the bridge is original to the the guitar it could well be an early-1962. But as I also said, early-1960s Gibsons sported single line Kluson tuners. So that leaves a '62 which has had the tuners swapped out (as the footprint of the two was the same there will be no visible signs of the change) or if the tuners are original a '65 or later guitar which has had the bridge rolled. Any modifications could well have happened before her husband bought the guitar and he may not have known enough about Gibsons to spot them. The thing though is the asking price is still a good deal for either scenario.

I'd be more interested in the L-5. I wish I lived within an hour of her so she could bring it to me so I could take a look...

The photos to the left of the ad title include a couple of shots that aren't in the gallery to the right.

I really like the ad. Sounds like someone you could trust to buy from if that old Gibson might be the guitar for you.
