Gibson / L5S Custom / 1973 / Sunburst / Guitar

1973 Gibson L5S Custom - Sunburst incl. orig. hardshell case

1973 Gibson Les Paul L5S Custom in excellent condition and all original. Only minor playwear, no beltbuckle-rush, the original frets are still in perfect condition, only the gold-plating on the hardware has faded a bit over the years. The L5S came out in 1973 and was actually a "solid-body version" of Gibson succesfull L5 Jazzguitar and features a lot of similar apointments such as the highly flamed 5-piece maple neck, the multi-bound 24 3/4"scale ebony fretboard, the extensively-styled L-5 headstock with famous flower-pot inlay and 6x Kluson "Sealfast" machine-heads. The L5S was by far Gibson most expensive electric guitar back ten and only 197(!) where made in 1973. The two Gibson Low Impedance PUs deliver a nice and warm sound, due to an factory built-in Impedance transformer the instrument can be played on any conventional amp as well. The Gibson L5S turned out to be not very succesfull, even so many famous players could be seen with a L5S such as Pat Matino, Keith Richard, Mark Farner (Grand Funk), Ron Wood, Neil Schon (Journey) and many others. Incl. orig. Gibson HCS with violet lining.
