Gibson L1 (1917)
4 000 €
A journey to the very roots of the Gibson legend, right in the heart of the acoustic era.
This 1917 Gibson L-1 is a fascinating testament to early ingenuity, blending archtop construction with a round soundhole—a rare configuration that defined the brand's early sonic identity.
Its carved spruce top and generously curved body deliver a unique tone: punchy, woody, and infused with a natural compression that immediately evokes the pioneering recordings of blues and ragtime.
The instrument proudly features the slanted "The Gibson" logo on the headstock, along with its period-correct tailpiece and bridge, maintaining remarkable authenticity after more than a century.
More than just a guitar, this is a perfectly playable museum piece, offering a direct connection to American music history for any collector or musician in search of lost sounds.
