Description

This Gibson L-5 from 1936 is fabulous sounding acoustic archtop, accented with the iconic Art Deco gold tailpiece. Measuring 17" across the lower bout, this one has the body for some serious projection, and it sounds great chunking out chords and toggles seamlessly to lead playing with just the right amount of archtop bite and clarity. It's had overspray on the top, heel and back of headstock, and has had a new nut and refret done recently, leaving it in with an excellent set-up and ready to keep playing into its next century. Comes in newer Cedar Creek hard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
