Description I first saw this guitar 20 years ago when I was appraising a friend's guitar collection. I was floored back then and am floored now. Since then it's been played maybe 4 or 5 times and is still one of the finest examples of post war Gibson craftsmanship around. It's a 1957 Gibson L-5 in all original condition. The pickguard had disintegrated years before I saw the guitar. Otherwise it's a 100% original, dead stock guitar. It's an amazing guitar. Amazing to look at, amazing to play and amazing to listen to. Structurally it's perfect. The original owner had it in an old Gretsch arch top case so that's what it comes with. Check out the pictures for details and email us with any questions or requests. Insured FEDEX Shipping will be $250. California residents pay the sales tax. Thanks! Place a Bid!
