Here’s a 1989 Gibson L-4 CES James Hutchins Master Model in a factory original gloss black finish.
Â
It’s in good condition with some light playwear and cosmetic aging.
The top is actually pretty decent- just a few light marks and light scratches on the gloss black finish.Â
Â
The hardwear has some oxidation and the plastic neck pickup ring has a crack.
The back has about the same – there’s also a good bit of light finish checking on the back of the mahogany body.
Â
She has factory gold hardwear-Â everything looks original.
The pickups are the original Gibson Patent Number humbuckers.
Â
The frets are original and don’t have any significant playwear –Â she plays well with no buzzing.
