{"product_id":"gibson-l-4-arch-top-acoustic-guitar-1915-7100","title":"Gibson L-4 Arch Top Acoustic Guitar (1915)","description":"Gibson L-4 Model Arch Top Acoustic Guitar (1915), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, red sunburst top, dark stained back and sides finish, birch back and sides, spruce top; mahogany neck with ebony fingergoard, original black hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 38 3\/4 in. (98.4 cm.), 16 1\/4 in. (41.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 7\/8 in. (7.3 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll we can say on this one is�wow! Show us to the time machine! We have only rarely seen a 100+ year old instrument in this sort of condition. There is typical fine varnish checking, there are small dings and chips here and there, but really the finish and hardware look a few years old, maybe�the label looks like it was filled in by hand last week. The nickel-plated tuners, tailpiece base, and pickguard clamps look shiny new�like re-issues that don't exist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is one well-sealed dryness crack to the top under the tailpiece, otherwise no repairs, alterations, or indeed even much handling. There is a very small amount of fret wear, but this guitar plays as well as any L-4 we have ever had from any era. There are a couple of small spots on the back where the varnish finish picked up a bit of texture from the case lining, and some tiny dings and chips but really�if they all looked like this, we'd still be in high collars and bustles. Complete with the OHSC in a very similar state of preservation. Excellent + Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853345706124,"sku":"7100","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_e1fa2f25-49ae-4f19-b2a7-13f34afe9723.jpg?v=1774335370","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-l-4-arch-top-acoustic-guitar-1915-7100","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
