Gibson L-1 1926 acoustic guitar - legendary blues sound with real history

When it comes to early Gibson flattops, the name Gibson L-1 comes up again and again - and quite rightly so. It is regarded as one of the first genuine Gibson flattop guitars and is inextricably linked with the history of the blues. Musicians such as Robert Johnson and Nick Lucas have written music history with the L-1 and given it a legendary reputation.

Previously, the L-1 was already known and popular as an archtop, but the flattop version marked the beginning of a new chapter in guitar history.

In terms of sound, this Gibson L-1 has everything you would expect from a great blues icon: The tone is woody, dry and incredibly bluesy. Maple for the back and sides provides warmth and depth, while the spruce top delivers fine overtones and lively timbres. The sound is direct, full of character and personality - exactly what you would expect from a blues guitar that is almost 100 years old.

This Gibson L-1 1926 is clearly a Player Vintage Guitar and not a collector's guitar. It tells its story openly: There are Various crack repairs, scars, dents and signs of wear - everything you can imagine from an instrument of this age. However, it is precisely these traces that give it its unmistakable, cool Vintage „Frankenstein“ look, that makes her so authentic and charismatic.

The guitar was purchased a few years ago and professionally restored. Great importance was attached to preserving the original character and sound. All cracks were sturdily repaired and our luthier also fully checked the instrument again.
The guitar has a Neck reset, new frets, a straight neck and a very good, low string action, which makes it surprisingly comfortable and effortless to play. The nut width is a comfortable 46 mm.

This Gibson L-1 1926 Acoustic Guitar is not an immaculate museum piece, but an honest working instrument with soul - a real blues tool for players who value character, history and sound above perfection. It will be delivered in theoriginal guitar case .

An exceptional vintage guitar for lovers of the early Gibson sound and for musicians looking for an instrument with a real past and a great sound.
