The gL-5CESh is a cutaway version of the gL-5,h the top-of-the-line archtop model, equipped with pickups.
The body features a spruce top with maple sides and back; the neck is maple; the fingerboard is ebony; and the headstock features a flowerpot inlay. The front pickup is a stamped PAF, while the rear pickup has no markings but is believed to be original.

Since the pickguard (including the mounting hardware) had been removed and was missing, we crafted a new pickguard and mounted it using gold-colored placket parts and screws.
The frets have been leveled.
There are scratches on the headstock, a step has formed between the headstock and the binding, and there is a crack in the screw hole of the truss rod cover.
Cracks are visible on the neck binding at the 3rd, 7th, and 9th frets on the 6th string side, and there are paint cracks at the junction between the neck heel and the body.
The body has numerous scratches and dents; there is a step and paint cracking at the junction between the body and the binding; and the metal parts show discoloration, tarnish, and pitting.
There are other signs of wear, such as scuffs and dull spots, but the overall condition is good.
