Description

This Gibson L-5S is a special 70's piece with a unique history. The "BGN" stamped on the back of the headstock indicates it was an employee model, and although all indications point to this being a '74, the pots date to '78 and '79. It has unmistakable Gibson humbucker tone with the elegance of their storied L5 model. Cosmetically, it's in good shape for its age with some finish wear around the edges and a few other nicks and spots of finish wear throughout.

Includes OHSC.
