{"product_id":"gibson-l-30-arch-top-acoustic-guitar-1935-3085","title":"Gibson L-30 Arch Top Acoustic Guitar (1935)","description":"Gibson L-30 Model Arch Top Acoustic Guitar (1935), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, black lacquer finish, maple back and sides, spruce top, mahogany neck. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGibson's least expensive archtop from the 1930's, the (originally) $30.00 L-30 is still a finely-made instrument and great sounding little guitar. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery simple with a black finish overall, white paint script logo, flat back, and minimal trim, the Depression-era strummer is a full carved-top guitar, albeit a small one, for the price of a good flattop. This version of the guitar was very short-lived and was soon slightly up-priced and given a sunburst top, probable proof that Gibson had overreached themselves and found it uneconomical to sell any carved top guitar for only thirty dollars! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough only 14 3\/4\" wide, this L-30 has a surprisingly strong punchy sound and is an especially fine archtop for ragtime, hokum, and fingerpicked blues styles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 39 3\/4 in. (101 cm.), 14 3\/4 in. (37.5 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 3 1\/2 in. (8.9 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne long repaired back crack (very old repair). Otherwise all original and very nice overall. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853179015308,"sku":"3085","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_91cb2d2f-5ffe-4d9d-85b5-79c6590562d9.jpg?v=1774331719","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-l-30-arch-top-acoustic-guitar-1935-3085","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
