Description
The Gibson Custom Line (CL) Series acoustic guitar range was introduced in the 1990s and they were built in Bozeman, Montana. The CL instruments had a longer scale length than the typical Gibson acoustic guitars and were designed to compete with Martin D28 style acoustics.
There were 5 tiers of CL guitars ranging from the CL-10 to CL-50. All had abalone rosettes and custom pickguard shapes, the more expensive models had mother of pearl snowflake or special leaf fingerboard inlays. The Country Line series became Gibson's bestselling acoustic guitars at the but were discontinued in 1999 to be replaced by the Songbird Series and later Songwriter Series, which had similar features.
