Good condition, 6/10, very worn finish, non |
original modern plastic case, good neck angle and |
action, filled holes in the top from a removed |
pickup, one inlay missing and 3 other replaced |
inlays in the fingerboard (plastic material), the |
stringholderpart of the tailpiece is replaced and |
the tailpiece is not of the style that this model |
should have, homemade black pickguard in the case, |
from online: A Pre-War example of the L-4 that was |
produced in a very brief window of time, this |
guitar features a solid hand-carved and |
bookmatched spruce top paired with solid maple |
back and sides and a Brazilian rosewood |
fingerboard capping a one-piece mahogany neck with |
a deep V profile carve.Structurally identical to |
the original iteration of the L-5 which Gibson |
discontinued in 36, the L-4 boasts the same |
tonewoods, bracing, 16 lower bout width and 24 |
3/4 scale. In fact, the L-4 s floral inlay is |
actually more upscale than the simple block inlay |
on the L-5s which preceded it. |
