Informazioni su questo annuncio
The Gibson L-1 is one of the most iconic models in the history of American acoustic guitars. Introduced in 1926 alongside the L-0, it marked the beginning of the Gibson flat-top era, establishing a construction and tonal standard that would influence generations of musicians. A century later, the L-1 continues to embody the essence of traditional acoustic guitar, becoming an essential reference for blues and fingerstyle.
Over the decades, the L-1 has been chosen by numerous prominent artists, but it is indelibly linked to the legendary figure of Robert Johnson, who appears in one of the few authentic photographs of him playing a sunburst L-1 with a 12-fret neck. This configuration, featuring a compact body and a neck joint at the 12th fret, gives the instrument a warm, deep, and immediate tone, particularly suited to the expressiveness of traditional blues.
To celebrate the centenary of the first Gibson flat-tops, the Gibson Custom Shop presents the Gibson Custom L-1 Anniversary Limited Edition, a commemorative reissue crafted in the Bozeman, Montana workshops. This model faithfully reproduces the construction features of the original L-1s, emphasizing the elements that have made this instrument one of the most appreciated and sought-after in the brand's history.
The body retains the classic L-1 shape and is constructed with solid mahogany back and sides, paired with a solid “Thermally Aged” Sitka spruce top, thermally treated to simulate the natural aging of the wood. The scalloped X-bracing contributes to an extremely sensitive dynamic response, with balanced projection and rich harmonic complexity.
The mahogany neck, with a 25” scale length, joins the body at the 12th fret and features a Historic V profile, true to the vintage specifications. This configuration, now less common than the 14-fret neck, was chosen to provide greater resonance and a enveloping tonal character.
The ebony fingerboard, equipped with 19 standard frets, is adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays and features elegant cream binding that extends along the edges of the top, back, headstock, and even the soundhole, faithfully reflecting the aesthetics of historic Gibsons.
Produced in only 100 units, the Gibson Custom L-1 Anniversary Limited Edition represents a perfect balance between historical value, luthier quality, and tonal performance, offering the authentic experience of a vintage Gibson flat-top, reinterpreted with the mastery of the Gibson Custom Shop.-------------------------------Body Style: L-1
