While not a player like you guys, I still mess around with guitars and need to dive back in. It's been a minute since I have paused my learning. However, I got this little beauty from my cousin after my uncle passed. It was played by his father, my grandfather and is an early 30's Gibson L-50 arch top. I need to give it to a Gibson specialist luthier to bring it back to playability. It desperately needs new strings and a set up and the 1st through 5th frets are really worn. Not sure if I want to replace those since it was my grandfather who put that wear there. It has the sweetest checking all over and actually plays OK for needing strings and a set up. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing it. Looking at the pictures, I took those with my older phone so you can't see the wonderful checking very well.
