This used L4Ces is a vintage inspired build ready for the bandstand or jazz club. Overseen by Jame W. Hutchins during his tenure at Gibson, including the earlier iteration of the Gibson Custom shop, the Gibson Custom Art & Historic line. This archtop features a carved solid spruce top over laminated maple back and sides for a warm, rounder tone than the laminated top version of this body style. Warm, fat and full sounding in the neck position, with a bright, articulate touch to the bridge, this is a Jazz box ready for the next round of Rhythm Changes. There is minor playwear to the finish, along with minor wear to the frets. Includes the original Gibson Custom Art & Historic case.
