1964 Gibson L-5 CESN

Florentine-cut L-5 from 1964! Refretted and refinished on the back of the neck only - work by Brad Nickerson, who is featured in Scott Chinery's Blue Guitar book. Finish and hardware show typical crazing/patina. Some of the binding at the end of the fingerboard is a bit rough but solid, and there is a small repaired chip at the top of the headstock - refer to the pics. Nice flamey Maple neck is 1.702" wide at the nut and adorned with a factory stinger. Acoustically it's loud, articulate, and resonant. The original patent sticker pickups sound just like PAFs too. Weighs 7.36 pounds and ships in OHSC.
