INFORMATION
This is probably the only archtop double neck guitar Gibson has ever produced. It may also be Gibson’s first guitar with an f-hole and natural finish.
The six-string guitar neck and the four-string tenor neck come together in a 43cm/17 inch wide and 9cm/3.5 inch deep body. Still, the guitar has elegant lines and pays tribute to Gibson’s craftsmanship (the L-10 initially had a smaller body, but was enlarged in 1934).
After a number of changes to the finish of the fingerboard and after the introduction of a frivolous headstock, the model was taken out of production in 1939. It is one of the rarest pre-war archtop guitars from Gibson.
