Incredible Hollowbody Tone with Gibson Custom Craftsmanship
You'll love how easy it is to invoke incredibly rich tone from the Gibson Custom L-4 CES hollowbody electric guitar. Gibson's L-4 hollowbody guitars are a favorite with jazz guitarists, although the L-4's deep and sultry tones are enchanting in many different styles. While most jazz guitars are all-maple, this L-4 CES tops a mahogany back and sides with a spruce top, for vibrantly mellow bass notes that still have definition. Also setting this L-4 apart from the normal fare is the Florentine cutaway, which creates a sharp look while allowing you easy access to the upper-fretboard. Factor in the one-piece mahogany neck, a pair of '57 Classic humbuckers, and a premium Plek Pro setup at Gibson's Custom Shop, and you've got an amazingly playable performer in the Gibson Custom L-4 CES hollowbody electric guitar.

The Gibson Custom L-4 CES hollowbody combines a carved mahogany back and sides with a carved spruce top, complete with a one-piece mahogany neck topped with a rosewood fretboard. The mahogany body and neck provide a rich and mellow tone plus incredible sustain. The spruce top complements these nicely, balancing the tonal response and enhancing note definition. It's a perfect recipe for those elusive, well-rounded jazz tones that have made the L-4 such a legendary instrument.
Sonic versatilityThanks to dual '57 Classic humbucking pickups, each with their own volume and tone controls, you can coax an impressive range of tones from the Gibson Custom L-4 CES. It's ideal for jazz, but versatile enough for country, rock and blues styles too.
