Description

The 1951 Gibson L-4 with a factory-installed P-90 is a rare and highly desirable archtop, blending vintage acoustic warmth with classic electric bite. Featuring a carved spruce top and laminate maple back and sides, this guitar delivers rich, resonant tones with excellent projection. The factory-installed P-90 pickup provides a warm, dynamic response, making it a versatile choice for jazz, blues, and early rock tones. With its comfortable neck profile, elegant appointments, and exceptional playability, this L-4 represents a unique chapter in Gibson’s archtop history. Includes the original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
