The Early carved Gibson Arch top Guitars from turn of the century up into the 1930s are quite interesting. They slowly evolved and modernized as the years passed. Your 1921 puts it in the Early Lloyd Loar Era and increases its desirability because of that factor. Starting around 1921 is when the L model guitars began to see improvements like thinner carved plates, slightly smaller more playable necks. Your L-4 was the top line model, so definitely worth getting it restored to play and enjoy. Sounds like the old L-4 is in pretty nice condition. Hope you find a great Luthier and get it dialed in. Keep us posted! Best. Sage
