1960 Gibson L-5CES Serial No. A34894. This amazing vintage example of the iconic L-5CES is in Excellent condition. Meticulously cared for, it appears to have been played very little. With classic laminated Maple neck, Ebony fingerboard and Spruce top, it sounds and plays incredible. The bridge pickup is a PAF, the neck is a Pat No. Since this guitar was likely made in late 1960, it is unknown whether this is due to Gibson's known practice of mixing the two in the transition years, or if the pickup was changed in the mid '60's. The bridge saddle has been changed to a very unique ivory saddle atop the rosewood base. There is an accompanying rosewood saddle in the case pocket. The case appears to be a late '60's Gibson with the rare, corresponding case protective bag.

Nut Width - 1 11/16"
1st fret - .82
10th fret - .89
Weight - 7lbs 3oz.

This store made me wish I was a better guitar player. I mean to say, craftsmanship is right on the square in downtown Garland at Jimmy Wallace. Good grief!!! I saw the very best in amps and guitars. And parts and pickups were ready, as were the perfect strings. The quality is obvious. Enjoy the vibe. Save your funds up and shop here for the perfect guitar to change your life.
