The Gibson L-4 archtop became jazzs greatest rhythm instrument in the hands of many great virtuosos like Eddie Lang in the 1920s and assured Gibsons dominance of the guitar market even before the outbreak of World War I. But the L-4s story – how it evolved from an acoustic guitar to the dynamic L-4 CES Mahogany Archtop of today – is perhaps the best illustration of Gibsons historic dedication to endlessly refining and improving instruments that are already world class.

FEATURES

Todays gorgeous L-4 CES still adhere to the classic design of their namesakes. They have a solid carved spruce top and a carved solid mahogany back and rims. They have a comfortable body size. This one has a beautiful vintage sunburst finish with multi-ply white binding on top, with single ply white binding on their backs.
