Gibson L-4 refers to several archtop guitars produced by the Gibson Guitar Corporation. The L-4 was first introduced in 1911 as an acoustic rhythm guitar with an oval sound hole;〔Wheeler, Tom (1992). American Guitars: an illustrated history. New York: HarperCollins, p. 107〕 it was used by Eddie Lang, who also played an L-5. During the 1930s, the oval sound hole was replaced by two f-holes, similar to those found in other archtops such as the L-5 and the Super 400. In 1949, Gibson released the ES-175, which was essentially an electric version of the L-4 with a laminated (as opposed to carved) top and a florentine cutaway. Electric versions of the L-4 (known as L-4 CES) with a carved top and a florentine cutaway, were released in limited runs throughout the 1950s. In the late 1980s, Gibson reintroduced the L-4 CES, which has been in production ever since. The current version features two humbucking pickups, a solid carved spruce top, and solid mahogany back and sides.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=L-4 CES Mahogany )〕 Other differences with the ES-175 include gold hardware, a fancier tailpiece, a different pickguard, and the rhythm pickup mounted closer to the neck. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gibson L-4」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
