About This Product!

Description

Multimedia

Even though Gibson had orginally created the laminated top ES-175 in 1948 to fill the need for an electric version of the acoustic, carved top L-4C, the demand still existed for an electric L-4 with a fully carved top. In the late 1950's Gibson answered this call by releasing small runs of variously configured L-4CES guitars: some with Charlie Christian pickups, some with Alnico pickups, and some with humbuckers. For today's player, the Custom Collection offers the L-4CES in its final incarnation.
