This 1917 Archtop Guitar, crafted by the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Manufacturing Co., Ltd., is a beautiful example of early 20th-century luthiery. The instrument features a distinctive arched top, a characteristic of the "archtop" guitar style that emerged in the early 1900s. This particular model, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the company's meticulous craftsmanship and the enduring influence of Gibson on the world of acoustic guitar design.
