For the earliest jazz/blues, it's the snappy sound of these Gibson arch tops that fuel the haunting vibe. Overall, it's not common to find an archtop with a center sound hole. L-Juniors were produced from 1919 - 1926; the "snake-head" headstock is a desirable feature. This example was fully restored at some point in its life: full refinish, the back was reglued, and replacement hardware. Comes with modern gig bag.
