Figured maple carved back and matching sides, carved bookmatched spruce top, three-piece figured maple neck with multi-bound rosewood fingerboard, block inlays.   Multi-layered body and headstock bindings, bound F-holes, tapered headstock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nIn near-perfect condition, this L-5 shows little wear to its original finish, no cracks or repairs, and no modifications other than a very well made reproduction pickguard.  Original Kluson Sealfast tuners, original frets and bridge, and the original nut has never been removed.  Frets show little wear and play well; set-up is fast, with clean playability in all positions on the neck.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nA lively, articulate, and warm 17\" archtop, this L-5 has a three dimensional sound that's both melodic and choppy, depending on how you attack the strings.  It does single note runs and chord comping equally well, and is a joy to listen to.  The neck is heavenly, too, with about the most comfortable profile we can imagine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/la4bmjJlpaU\"\u003eClick HERE for our hi-def video feature of this L-5\u003c\/a\u003e  \r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith original hardshell case\r\n","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53613559120238,"sku":null,"price":7995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/L5-1013-main.jpg?v=1790965708","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1947-gibson-l-5-1922","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
