ITEM DETAILS
This 1960 Sunburst Gibson L-5CES is all original with the exception of the neck pickup ring screws ( the ring itself is original ) and the frets. Also, the top strap button has been moved to the neck heel. There is one repair on the top lower treble side bout that has received some over spray and finish work. The PAF humbucker pickups are original though the bridge pickup is missing its cover. This guitar comes with its original Lifton hard shell case. Serial # A 32378.

The fully hollow body is 17" wide with a highly resonant solid carved spruce top and carved maple back and sides. The dual F holes are are single bound. The top and back feature multi layer binding. The 3 piece maple neck features a bound ebony fretboard with large block inlays. Other fine features on this guitar include a multi-bound blackface headstock with flowerpot inlay, trapeze tailpiece, rosewood based no wire ABR-1 bridge, 3 way switch and a multi-bound tortoise pickguard. This guitar also features gold hardware and Kluson tuners.

OVERALL CONDITION
This 1960 Gibson L-5CES is in good condition. This guitar plays and sounds very well. The top does have a repair as noted earlier that shows some cracking and overspray. There is a crack around the input jack. The general wear on this guitar falls in the light to moderate category. There is some finish checking here and there, a few light cracks, some smaller dings and a few cracks to the binding which shows some typical shrinking. The replaced frets are in very good to excellent condition showing only minimal wear.

This is a phenomenal vintage jazz guitar. It plays and sounds wonderful and these older L5's just keep going up in price. This is a fine guitar to add to your collection and enjoy regularly.
