Made in USA
Serial Number 06 172638
The Gibson L-5 CES (Cutaway Electric Spanish) 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.
Natural finish were limited in their production, making them rarer and more valuable.
This guitar is completely original with no breaks, repairs or mods. Minimal checking, some patina to the hardware. Frets are in great shape, ebony fretboard smooth and easy to play. Beautiful ripples in the flame maple neck. Overall a lovely vintage L5 that turns 50 years old next year..
Original case included. Just been serviced and setup with 11’s.
