Description

This 1998 Gibson L-5 CES features a carved solid spruce top finished in Natural, paired with a maple neck and ebony fingerboard. Equipped with its original dual humbuckers, it delivers the warm, rich tones and smooth response that have made the L-5 a longtime favorite among jazz players. The comfortable D-shaped neck and elegant appointments round out this classic Gibson archtop.

This example shows some playwear on the back of the neck and on the top near the neck, with no modifications or repairs. Weighs 7.8 lbs and includes a hard shell case.
