Home / Shop / 1930 Gibson L-1, Mahogany/Adirondack Spruce
The ubiquitous Gibson L-1 came in many forms, originally an archtop in the 20s and later as a flattop from 1926-1937. This beauty comes in right at the middle in 1930 with a Mahogany body and Adirondack Spruce top, stained sunburst, and the wider 14 3/4” lower bout that collectors and players both agree make for the better-sounding beast. Our repair folks have gone over this one from tuner to tail and we’re happy to announce it has a clean bill of health!
