One of Gibson’s classiest full-body electric guitars, the L-5CES (Cutaway Electric Spanish) was a company mainstay for many years, and a particular favorite of many jazz and classic R&B players. This example is from the late 1960s, with the sharp Florentine cutaway and two patent # humbucking pickups. The neck is slimmer than earlier examples but still with a substantial feel. Although Gibson quality in general slipped some what in this era the top-line carved guitars suffered the least; this guitar still has the feel of a top-quality instrument.
