This 4-string version of the early 16" L-7 was originally priced at $125, the most expensive tenor listed and a substantial professional grade investment during the Depression.

This model was listed in the 1934 catalog only as available "in stock", but was so rarely produced it was essentially a custom order piece. This instrument is a very rare and particularly attractive pre-war Gibson archtop tenor guitar, the TGL-7. Gibson TGL-7 Model Arch Top Acoustic Tenor Guitar (1934), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # 90987, sunburst top, dark back and sides finish, maple back and sides, spruce top mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, black rigid foam case.
