- 2 owner 1973 L5 ‘ Gibson’s very best ‘ .

During the 70s, some of the Gibson quality went downhill but not they’re very best models. They were reserved for the top Luther that they employed. This is an exact excellent example of a fine fine arch top guitar . The pick ups and tailpiece were upgraded to slightly newer, Gibson ones. As they were an ‘upgrade ‘ in both tone and beauty . This is a fully carved guitar made from the best wood Gibson used and the flame on the back is incredible. ! The tone of this guitar matches its beauty . Comes with the its original hardshell case .
Shipping to most places in the lower 48 states is approximately $95 sent carefully packed and fully insured

Product Overview
The Gibson L-5 CES is the electric cutaway version of the iconic L-5 acoustic archtop. In the first years of production, it featured P-90 pickups and later Alnico V pickups until humbuckers debuted in 1957, which is still uses. Unlike most other Gibson guitars, it has a 25.5 inch scale. It featured a sharp cutaway between 1960 - 1969, with a rounded cutaway for all other years. 

This model is also produced in limited numbers in a natural finish, which creates slightly higher value.
