A breathtaking example of Gibson’s golden-era archtop legacy, this Custom L-5 CT in Cherry is pure visual and tonal opulence. Carved from a finely flamed maple back and sides with an arched spruce top, it delivers the resonance, warmth, and presence that made the L-5 an icon in jazz, blues, and beyond. The multi-bound body, ebony fingerboard with bold MOP block inlays, and gold hardware elevate it to heirloom status. From the flame maple neck with a striking stinger headstock to the carved tailpiece and twin humbuckers, every inch exudes class, clarity, and unmistakable vintage mojo. A true statement piece—for stage, studio, or collection.

Very good condition.  Ding on the top bout treble side, few other dings on the top, and some light surface scratches.
