Introduced into Gibson's lineup in 1922, the L-5 was the first guitar to feature F-holes, being similar in build to a cello. This '56 example is a joy to play thanks to a re-fret and replaced bridge with comfortable action and a very pleasing sound. It has had overspray on back of neck toward the heel, some binging repair, and touch up on a small blemish near the bass side F Hole. There is general wear throughout for a guitar its age but it is ready to be played for decades to come!
Includes its original hard shell case.
