Here she is- a fabulous mid 70’s Gibson L-5 with upgraded Mike Christiansen Piezo bridge. The bridge makes all the difference with this instrument, but we have the original as well and will be included if you want to return to bone stock. The tuners have been replaced with Grover’s ( original tuners not available) please see pictures (There are small open screw holes where the original tuners were) Overall this is a very clean example of a hard-to-find Gibson. A couple of very small blemishes in the finish (please see photos) but I would definitely put this guitar in the ‘Excellent’ category. The balance of the guitar is original including the case.

All electronics and truss rod function properly and there is just something super special about this guitar. Let me know if you have any questions or want more pictures- happy to help.

We are local musicians who have just accumulated too much gear over the years. Check out our shop for more listings and a TON more to come.
