📚 Description: I've documented nearly all the Norin Era Solid body Gibson Guitars, but the L5-S has always been that one that I've been on the fence about. It looks silly if you think of it like a Les Paul... but it is really fancy at the same time! This is a solid body L-5 archtop guitar. This one has a rare one-piece top and back! Let's learn all about this expensive guitar!
