A closer look at instruments used in mandolin orchestras in the early 20th Century.... Acoustic superpickers Tim May and David Harvey brought out their personal vintage Gibson collections at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on June 27, 2007, for a powerful demonstration of the beauty and enduring quality of these old treasures. In Chapter One, May plays a 1917 Gibson L-4 Guitar while Harvey plays a March 31, 1924, signed Lloyd Loar Gibson F-5 Mandolin with Virzi Tone Producer. The tune is David Grisman's "Cedar Hill".

I really enjoyed this video. Great picking by both of you. I have a 1924 L-4 that is just about the best sounding archtop I've ever played, and I've played some great ones. The most versatile archtop, that's for sure, although the 12 fret neck keeps you humble.

well said, very informative

I have seriously been looking at a Gibson L-4. I'm just curious how the back of the neck is on those?

Thanks, we pick pretty good too. Check us out. I have played numerous Gibsons including the O, L-4, L1, L7, etc. I have a '41 Recording King (Gibson built for Montgomery Ward) which is a '34 L5 size and it is the bomb!
