{"product_id":"gibson-l-4c-arch-top-acoustic-guitar-1951-4224","title":"Gibson L-4C Arch Top Acoustic Guitar (1951)","description":"Gibson L-4C Model Arch Top Acoustic Guitar (1951), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, sunburst lacquer finish, maple back and sides, spruce top; mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, black tolex hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis early 1950's L-4C has a very dark sunburst top and a lovely patina overall. It has been equipped with a floating pickup and wooden pickguard by master arch-top luthier Bob Benedetto, and has a very good sound both acoustically and electrically. The L-4C of this era is the same size and carries the same ornamentation as an ES-175 but is a solid wood carved-top guitar with a finer acoustic tone than its laminated electric cousin. This model is something of a sleeper in the vintage market and is a very fine player's guitar at a fairly moderate price.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 40 3\/4 in. (103.5 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 3 3\/8 in. (8.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). All original except for the replaced pickguard; tailpiece slightly modified at the base to accept an endpin jack. Overall well-played with numerous small finish dings and general wear but no major damage or repair. Very Good + Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853274009740,"sku":"4224","price":2900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_3e1bb964-2eb9-4772-9f29-f8c33053cb93.jpg?v=1774332696","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-l-4c-arch-top-acoustic-guitar-1951-4224","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
