Gibson / L-5 / 1947 / Sunburst / Guitar
|
Another rare gem! This is our 1947 Gibson L-5 archtop acoustic in sunburst. She's a blast from the past! Originally built by legendary Gibson luthier, Lloyd Loar, the Gibson L-5 is an extremely collectible acoustic archtop. The earliest L-5's are the most prized, like this one! The L-5 has a carved Spruce top, carved & flamey Maple back & sides, with a flamed Maple neck. The bound fretboard is Rosewood with block inlays. Our L-5 is in good, working condition. There are various scratches, nicks & nacks that come with a 70year old guitar. The guitar comes with the pictured hardshell case.
