Gibson L-5 CES

Gibson L-5 CES with their 17″ body for their typical sound, made in the custom shop in Nashville still belong to the rare icons from the house of Gibson. The selected spruce tops are shaped and tuned according to old original forms. The two Gibson Classic 57 pickups are an excellent choice. Our L-5 Classic has a slightly lighter tone than usual and convinces with its quite moderate weight as well as with its rich overtone and yet full Jazz sound. Today’s Custom Shop L-5 CES is a truly classic instrument. Its appearance is both imposing and graceful, with a stylish single cutaway, block inlays, and artfully crafted headstock. The headstock is itself a work of art, bearing a pearl inlay inspired by the urns of ancient Greece. The L-5 CES has a high-grade spruce top and maple back and rims. Its body is a substantial 17-inches wide, 21-inches long, and 3 3/8-inches deep – dimensions key to its rich, dark, woody tones. Multi-ply binding in black or white accents the top and back, and single-ply white binding outlines the f-hole. Condition: new
