2022 L-4 CES in Wine Red
$5,000.00
The L-4 CES evolved from the original L-4C acoustic archtop which was introduced in 1911. Gibson created the ES-175 in 1948 to accommodate those who wanted an electric version of the L-4C. The ES-175 had a laminated top, so there was still a need for a solid top version. Gibson obliged in the late 50s and so was born the electric L-4. This modern version is a great example of Gibson’s archtop DNA.
