"The L-30 and L37 models were designed at the lower end of the price range as small (14 3/4") width cello style bodied instruments. Both had carved sprice tops on maple bodies, and fitted with standard dot inlaid fingerboards. The L-30 was finished all over in black, the L-37 in sunburst. "

"Notes: The Gibson L-37 model was introduced in 1935, with a 14 3/4" body, carved spruce soundboard, solid flat maple back, and red mahogany finish. By 1937 the color was changed to a chocolate brown, with a distinctive lateral sunburst on the sides, a rare variant seen only on a few Depression era Gibson instruments. A short lived model, the L-37 was discontinued altogether by 1941, just months after this instrument rolled off the line in Kalamazoo. ",
