The new model was just under 17″ wide – a full inch wider than Martin’s dreadnoughts and Gibson’s own Jumbos. To make it look even bigger, Gibson reverted to the circular lower bout of the original small-bodied flat-tops. The first of these was made for singing cowboy movie star Ray Whitley. The body size was the same as Gibson’s L-5 archtop, and the neck featured the L-5’s pearl block inlays (custom-engraved) along with the L-5’s flowerpot peghead inlay, so the first examples of this new guitar were labeled “L-5 Spec.”
