Just arrived for #gibsunday a Gibson L-4N Carved Arch Top Acoustic Guitar in its original brown hard shell case! - Link in our profile. - This 1951 Gibson L-4 N is a carved-top guitar with a 16" body and midline appointments, by this point the company's top quality F-hole instrument available in this body size. This one has the additional deluxe feature of a clear natural finish, always an upscale option at Gibson. The guitars ranked beneath this one (the L-50 and L-48) were considered student models, making the L-4 the only professional-grade choice in this smaller-body format. The next model up, the L-7 was a full 17" body instrument. The serial number on this guitar's old-style white oval label dates shipment to December 1951, one of only 75 sold that year. The non-cutaway L-4N was already headed for oblivion, the numbers quickly dwindling with the single final straggler shipped in 1955. - - - - #gibsonl4 #gibsonl4n #vintagearchtop #vintagearchtopguitar #gibsonarchtop #solidtoparchtop #guitarforsale #rhythmguitar #blondearchtop (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaoGp7udsz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
