Used 1992 Gibson L4-CES serial number 91912350.
This guitar is in very good condition, neck and frets are fine. Cosmetically there are some minor marks here and there. The gold hardware shows some aging. Overall it shows playing time but not abuse.
The bridge pickup is the original impressed Pat. No. humbucker. We’re told by the previous owner that the neck pickup is a ’57 Classic.
The L-4 was first introduced in 1911 as an acoustic rhythm guitar with an oval sound hole, electric versions of the L-4 (known as L-4 CES) with a carved top and a Florentine cutaway, were released in limited runs throughout the 1950s. In the late 1980s, Gibson reintroduced the L-4 CES, which has been in production ever since.
The woods used in the L4-CES have changed over the years of production. This 1992 instrument features a carved spruce top, carved solid mahogany back and rims, multi white binding on the top, single white binding on the back and a one-piece mahogany neck with a 1 11/16” nut width. The lower bout is 16” and the depth is 3 3/8”.
This is a beautiful guitar, plays smoothly and sounds great!
Original hard-shell case included.
