NEW ARRIVAL Only produced between 1919 - 1925, this as a very desirable first year of issue L Jr, and 100 years old. The most noticeable difference between this and later examples is ‘The Gibson’ headstock logo - later versions had no logo at all. Also it's a rare example of an arch top guitar with a central sound hole. It’s essentially a stripped down L-1 with no body binding - which is the predecessor to the flat top L1 that Robert Johnson famously played - and if you want to recreate that Robert Johnson or Leadbelly growl then this guitar gets you close. The feel of the guitar is just great - it really is like holding a piece of history, yet it plays superbly well, and it's still structurally very strong so you don't feel like you have to handle it with kid gloves. It has two tightly repaired top cracks, and has been oversprayed. Whether you're a collector or a player, this guitar is a true example of an overused expression - it has real Mojo. It comes in a non original hard case.
