{"product_id":"gibson-l-1-flat-top-acoustic-guitar-1991-8631","title":"Gibson L-1 Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1991)","description":"Gibson L-1 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1991), made in Bozeman, Montana, serial # 92731022, sunburst top, dark back and sides finish, mahogany back, sides and neck, spruce top, original brown tolex hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1991 Gibson's recently expanded Bozeman, Montana facility re-introduced the L-1, the company's long-lost original small body, 12-fret flat top to the world. This instrument is not an exact re-issue of any '20's model but a re-engineered version from the factory's master luthier Ren Ferguson with a X-braced top and fairly deluxe trim. The triple-bound top is finished in a version of Gibson's classic \"Cremona Brown\" sunburst, while the back and sides are finished dark. The headstock has a pearl \"The Gibson\" logo and 1950's style individual Kluson deluxe tuners. The bridge is a very Stella-like pyramid-end piece as used only on the first 1926 examples. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is slimmer than the original with a very slight \"V\" spine, just noticeable in the lower positions. This is a very comfortable and easy playing guitar that responds especially well to fingerpicking styles. This example is #31 of the first original 1991 limited edition of 100, with a label hand signed by Ren Ferguson. It still resides in its deluxe brown HSC and was originally exported to Japan, from whence it has recently returned.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 37 3\/4 in. (95.9 cm.), 13 3\/4 in. (34.9 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1\/2 in. (11.4 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 1\/2 in. (622 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). This guitar appears very little played since new, the finish showing only some very minor dings and checking overall. The finish along the edges of the fingerboard has checked a bit more, with a few small flaking spots in this area. The pearl logo on the headstock has a bit of finish lift around it as well. All-in-all this is a fine playing and very well preserved example of this very interesting guitar with a bigger sound than its small size would suggest.
