Google us! Lovies Guitar Shop Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 1993 Gibson L-4 CES James Hutchins Master Model with a Black Ebony Finish! This superb instrument was built under supervision, inspected and signed by the late Master-Builder James Hutchins who spent over 45 years working at Gibson. The Gibson L-4 archtop became jazz’s greatest rhythm instrument in the hands of six-string innovators like the virtuoso Eddie Lang in the 1920s and assured the company’s dominance of the guitar market even before the outbreak of World War I. But the L-4’s story - how it evolved from an acoustic guitar to the dynamic L-4 CES Archtop of today - is perhaps the best illustration of Gibson’s historic dedication to endlessly refining and improving instruments that are already world class. This gorgeous 1993 Gibson L-4 CES still adheres to the classic design of its namesake. The comfortable 16" wide body was crafted using a solid carved spruce top and maple back and rims. Contributing much to the guitar’s silky, lush, deep tone is the one-piece mahogany neck. True to the model’s historic evolution, this L-4 CES has a 20 fret Ebony fretboard with pearl split parallelogram inlays and single ply white binding. It boasts the classic ES rounded profile and a headstock with vintage tulip shape tuners. This guitar is in excellent shape with light hardware tarnish, binding wear and several micro marks, rated at 9/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks, or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case, a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net and a complimentary Cooper Standard Fin guitar pick—our favorite for enhanced control and reduced movement!
