Presented here is one of the most significant modern collector instruments Gibson has ever produced: the GIBSON CUSTOM 100 YEARS OF FLAT-TOPS Commemorative L-1 — a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind Custom Shop masterpiece built to celebrate a full century of Gibson flat-top acoustic guitar history. Only one built for the 2026 NAMM show is available for purchase. This instrument will be available to ship in February.
Rooted in the elegance and artistry of the ornate 1920s Gibson L-1 designs, this extraordinary creation pays homage to the very beginnings of Gibson’s acoustic legacy while telling the story of everything that followed — 100 years of innovation, craftsmanship, and cultural impact.
This historic commemorative guitar was born from a rare collaboration between two of Gibson’s most respected master builders:
Rick Hinrichsen, visionary Nashville Custom Shop artist, and
Madison Swords, elite Bozeman Custom Shop luthier.
Together, they have crafted not merely an instrument, but a museum-grade heirloom — a guitar designed as both tribute and milestone.
Every element of the Commemorative L-1 reflects the refinement of Gibson’s early flat-tops, elevated through modern Custom Shop precision. Built as a NAMM showcase piece with absolute rarity, it stands alone as a singular artifact in Gibson’s timeline — a centerpiece for the most serious collections worldwide.
For the discerning collector or long-term investor, this is the definition of investment-grade Gibson Custom Shop history:
One guitar. One century. One legacy.
