Gibson L4-A Rosewood Acoustic Electric Guitar Vintage Dark Burst Near Mint wOHSC

Up for sale is a beautiful Gibson L 4 A acoustic electric guitar that was made in the USA in 2006.

It has the highly sought after Vintage Antique ( Honeyburst ) type finish with beautiful Gold Grover tuners.

The guitar has obviously been played very little and it looks fantastic.  As you can see in the last picture, there are two spots on the back of the neck, where the finish has wore off.   We believe this was probably caused by a reaction in the finish, to a guitar stand.  Otherwise, the guitar is in near mint condition. 

The frets are all original and they reflect very little use.

The Gold Grover tuners look fantastic and they work great.

As you can see, factory electronics were installed and they work fine.  The guitar sounds great, whether it's plugged into an amp, or ran straight through the PA.

You can save a lot of money here.   The L4 A is no longer being made by Gibson but the MSRP on a similar brand new Gibson J-185 EC Blues King Electro Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar is $4270.00.

This is a highly collectible Gibson guitar that's
still in great condition and it will only go up in value.

It looks plays and sounds fantastic.

The original factory Gibson Acoustic hard shell case is included and it's in near mint condition.
 

This would look be a great addition to any guitar collection and it would also make a great gift.
 
Whoever buys this beautiful guitar, will be very pleased.

In today's world, many acoustic guitar
manufacturers have chosen to build their instruments more quickly,
cheaply, and in greater numbers. Gibson acoustic guitars are made
one-at-a-time, by hand. No shortcuts. No substitutions. They're made in
Bozeman, Montana, where the climatic conditions are ideal for guitar
building. Most importantly, Gibson acoustic guitars are built by master
craftspeople who have dedicated their lives to building the world's
finest acoustic instruments. These elements combine to create the
difference that is the Gibson acoustic guitar. The difference is " MasterBuilt "

Environment
Even though they
might get a little more snow up there, the environs of Bozeman, Montana
are a guitar builder's dream come true. Extreme heat and high humidity
are natural enemies of wood. Bozeman has neither. The fine spruces,
maples, mahoganies and rosewoods are carefully cured and environmentally
maintained during the building process.

There are other
advantages to Montana in addition to its ideal climate. Gibson's
acoustic guitars rely heavily on its builder's sense of creativity and
concentration. Living in " Big Sky Country " appears to nurture both
of these needs. It seems that looking out over a range of snow covered
mountains every morning makes for inspired guitar building - which, in
turn, makes for inspired guitars.

Artistry
Experienced
builders and players understand that handmade quality, design and
construction determine an instrument's ability to produce truly
beautiful sound. Gibson's methods of handmaking guitars have remained
unchanged for nearly a century.

The top brace of each guitar is
carefully scalloped and arched to focus the sound to the center of the
soundhole. The resulting distinctive "Gibson Tone" shares the same
vibrance and fidelity as the sound from a fine audio speaker.

Instead
of a cheaper bolt-on neck, Gibson's dovetail joint technique creates a
cohesive bond between the vibrating neck and body - almost as if the
guitar were carved from a single piece of wood. This time-honored
technique effectively transfers the strings' vibrations directly into
the wood for superior tone and unsurpassed resonance.

Finally,
unlike other manufacturers, Gibson still uses its famous "violin-like"
lacquer finish. Over the years, the complex makeup of the lacquer merges
with the wood, further sweetening the instrument's tone and providing
an unmistakable "vintage" look and feel that players and collectors have
come to cherish.

Each Gibson acoustic guitar is full of
expression, character and exquisite beauty. None is ordinary, and no two
are alike. When compared to a marketplace full of "lookalikes," the
differences of a MasterBuilt Gibson acoustic are unmatched in quality
and performance.

Experience
When a MasterBuilt Gibson
acoustic is played, both the guitarist and the listener share in the
resulting perfection. It's no accident that Gibson instruments have been
the " artist's choice " for over one hundred years. Gibson not only
understands quality - Gibson understands what it takes to achieve
superior quality. This is why each Gibson acoustic guitar is still
MasterBuilt in the tradition handed down by a dynasty of Gibson builders
- a dynasty started in 1894 by Orville Gibson himself.
