1968 L-5C

We are pleased to announce the arrival of a 1968 L-5C, the flagship of Gibson's archtop guitars.
Multiple layers of binding wrapped around the body, neck, and head, torch inlay sitting on the head.
F-hole binding and gold hardware.
More than half a century has passed since its manufacture, and this one has a vintage and high-class feel at the same time.

Body material
Top: Spruce
Side & Back: Maple
Neck Material: 5P Maple (Maple and Walnut laminate)
Fingerboard: Ebony
Pegs: Cruson seal fast gold knobs

Neck Condition: 6-string side has a slight forward warp, while the 1-string side is slightly straight. Truss rod has room in the tightening direction/loosening direction.

A Johnny Smith model pickup has been retrofitted.
Please use a mini-phone shield on the guitar side. (There is an accessory).

The pickguard is deteriorated.

Judging from the condition, the nut, frets, and bridge have probably been replaced.
There is a gap near the nut due to shrinkage of the binding.
The height of the bridge pedestal has enough room, so it is possible to adjust the string height to lower it further in the future.
There are no problems with playing the instrument as it is now.

S/N: 896156
Weight: 2.883kg
Accessories: hard case, shield (miniphone on one side)
