Gibson L-5ces early 70s
Condition is 9.9/10, basically mint. Gorgeous sunburst finish. Not often you see a 70s L-5 with beautiful flamed wood on the back and neck.
Straight neck, no volute. Frets with no signs of wear. Neck feels great and plays great. Fast, comfortable medium/slim neck profile. Very low action without buzzes. 1 11/16" nut width.
Good acoustic volume and resonance from the carved Spruce top. Super smooth amplified tone full of nuance and clarity. These early 70s pickups were so warm!
The pickguard had starting off-gassing so the previous owner replaced pickguard, plckup covers and tailpiece with correct replacements. The tailpiece has the etched design, but not the "L-5" so maybe an L-4ces tailpiece, or aftermarket.
Original factory case is also quite clean, but one small tear on the edge.
