The Gibson L-1 was first introduced in 1902 as an archtop guitar , it had a single bound top and back , bound soundhole , ebony fingerboard with dot
inlays, orange natural top finish, dark mahogany back and sides (see pic) , during the 20s they started making them in brown finishes . Discontinued in 1926 .
To give you an idea how important these guitars are......Robert Johson used to play the L-1 Acoustic version
