For sale is a truly remarkable and rare 1941 Gibson L-4 in its original Natural / Blonde finish.Unlike standard L-4 models from this era (which typically feature a 24 3/4" short scale, this special pre-war instrument is built with a factory 25 1/2" long scale (L-5 style) and a maple neck. It delivers an incredible acoustic punch, volume, and woody percussive "bark" that easily cuts through a mix, combined with sweet warmth when plugged in.Electronics & Appointments:
