{"product_id":"1937-gibson-cromwell-g-4-360","title":"1937 Gibson Cromwell G-4","description":"FON 261. This 16\" archtop, similar to the Kalamazoo KG-31 and the Gibson L-50, the Cromwell G-4 features a solid spruce arched top and a braced arched Mahogany back. The Cromwell brand was distributed by a few mail-order stores from 1935 until 1939, and are now famous for their flashy Art Deco fingerboard ornamentation. This instrument features a sunburst top, elevated firestripe pickguard, single-bound body and fingerboard, and nickel tailpiece. It has a comfortable V neck with a 1-3\/4\" nut width and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. Original everything, and in excellent condtion. The guitar plays very well thanks to a fine setup and good original frets. I like the way it sounds, too - it's loud and punchy, but also has a warmth not usually found in less-pricey archtops.   This guitar's fingerboard sports double stripes, as opposed to the single stripe found on most Cromwell fingerboards.  Only a few Cromwells with this fingerboard were built, making this a rare instrument.  According to Gibson records this guitar was shipped on August 13th, 1937.   \u003cbr\u003eWith original chipboard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GIBSON - CROMWELL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610271572334,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/cromwell__0703.jpg?v=1790963552","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1937-gibson-cromwell-g-4-360","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
