What We Think
Condition: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: All frets were replaced with spec-correct fretwire, then dressed and polished. No further work necessary.
Step into jazz box perfection with the legendary Gibson Custom L-5 CES in classic Sunburst! The undisputed benchmark of archtop craftsmanship, this instrument features a carved solid spruce top paired with figured maple back and sides for unmatched acoustic depth, punchy projection, and refined clarity. Its multi-ply maple and walnut neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard, 20 frets, and brilliant mother-of-pearl block inlays that feel as smooth as they look. Accented by gleaming gold hardware, custom Gibson tuners, and dual humbuckers controlled via traditional volume and tone knobs, this 7 lb 14 oz hollowbody yields buttery cleans, rich harmonic complexity, and pure vintage warmth. Complete with a original Gibson hardshell case, it remains the ultimate crown jewel for the serious jazz virtuoso.
About Manufacturer
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
