The L-5CES is one of the most prestigious and highly sought-after jazz guitars, admired by jazz guitarists around the world and cherished by countless musicians throughout its history.

This 1976 example has developed a wonderfully understated vintage character, with aged binding and beautifully patinated metal hardware. The guitar delivers an exceptionally rich, warm, and sweet tone.

The top is crafted from high-quality spruce featuring a striking, dynamic grain pattern. The back and sides are made of maple, displaying a more understated yet beautifully distinctive character.

The neck is constructed from five-ply maple with attractive, pronounced tiger figuring, while the fingerboard is made of dark, beautifully defined ebony.

The guitar is equipped with two original-humbuckers.The neck pickup produces a smooth, sweet, and beautifully mellow tone, while the bridge pickup offers excellent note definition and clarity, allowing each note to stand out distinctly.The acoustic resonance is also impressive, with a rich, open sound.

Considering its age, the guitar remains in relatively attractive overall condition, although it does show typical signs of vintage use, including tarnished metal hardware, playing wear, and various dings and scratches.The pickguard has been replaced with a newer one.

The rear tone potentiometer has been replaced.Overall fret wear is relatively light, although the plain-string frets show approximately 20–30% wear.No buzzing issues are present, and the guitar currently plays well.The neck is in good condition.

A Gibson hard case, as pictured, is included.
