Early/Mid 1930s Cromwell G4 archtop; sunburst finish Spruce top, Mahogany neck, back & sides, Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Super solid construction w/o any cracks or repairs during my ownership. The frets are original so I would suggest you may want to have it refretted if this will be your daily axe. They are worn down. I also own a Gibson ES-150 and this is very comparable in construction.
This archtop is fitted w/ a highly sought after Dearmond pickup as well!
One of the other-branded instruments made by Gibson during the Great Depression, Cromwell was sold through the Continental Music Company in Chicago. These guitars were similar in construction and made on the same production lines, but none had the adjustable truss rod found on all Gibson guitars after 1921. Woody organic tone, large V-profile neck, great vintage vibe and patina, plays well with just a bit of relief on the fingerboard.
