Demo of a 1917 Gibson L-1

There are only three known pictures of Blues legend Robert Johnson. In one of them, he is holding a Gibson L-1. These guitars are iconic to the blues. They were used in jazz as well — the arched top and back , as well as the sound hole, were designed to project sound to fight to be heard among the band.
