Gibson Acoustic Steel string model: L-C Century Of Progress. 1941 ca.
Very rare model. Celluid fingerboard over rosewood. Adirondack spruce top. Flamed maple back and sides. Built in pickup. Hardcase. The model was originally introduced for the “Century of Progress” exhibition in Chicago in 1933, and discontinued around 1939. No production figures exist for L-C’s shipped in the first few years, but the number is fairly small compared to the L-00 family. The L-C was a comparatively expensive instrument.
