The Gibson Custom Line (CL) Series acoustic guitar range was introduced in the 1990s and they were built in Bozeman, Montana. The CL instruments had a longer scale length than the typical Gibson acoustic guitars and were designed to compete with Martin D28 style acoustics. There were 5 tiers of CL guitars ranging from the CL-10 to CL-50. All had abalone rosettes and custom pickguard shapes, the more expensive models had mother of pearl snowflake or special leaf fingerboard inlays.
