Lovies Guitars is Excited to offer up this 1980 Gibson Custom L-5 CES Electric Archtop Hollowbody Guitar with a Tobacco Burst Finish! One of Gibson's classiest full-body electric guitars, the L-5 CES (Cutaway Electric Spanish) was a company mainstay for many years, and a particular favorite of many jazz and classic R&B players. This example is from 1980, with the cutaway and two patent number humbucking pickups typical of that period. This guitar still has the feel of a top-quality instrument from an earlier era. The back is laminated maple but the top is still carved spruce, while the neck is a 5-piece maple laminate with a pearl block inlaid ebony fingerboard. This is a truly amazing guitar to play and hear, with the warm, rich, yet lively sound characteristic of these fully carved-top Gibson electrics! Very Good Shape with finish wear on the neck, many indents, marks and scuffs all over, hardware fade and tarnish and some case wear, 8/10. ALL Original, except for the upper strap button, includes original pickguard. NO Breaks, Cracks or Repairs! All of our guitars are fitted with a fresh set of our favorite strings by Stringjoy! Includes an Original Hard Shell Case and a Free Sample of Fret-Not, our favorite fretboard cleaner out there, check it out at fretnot.net!
