Description

This 1937 Gibson L-5 features a sunburst spruce top with figured maple back and sides, paired with a two-piece figured maple neck and ebony fingerboard. Its C-profile neck, 24.75" scale, 12" radius, and 1.773" nut width give it a substantial, traditional feel, while Grover open-gear tuners and a rosewood bridge complete the setup.

The tuner mounting holes have been enlarged, and glue has been used to fill along some fret edges. Otherwise, the guitar remains in good overall condition and includes its original hardshell case.
