1977 Gibson L5S
Sunburst

Art.Nr. GI77L5S73187091

1977 Gibson L5S in excellent condition and all original. We purchased the guitar from the original owner who bought it new in the late 70s. Some minor play wear, the gold-plating on the hardware show the typical wear, especially the bridge and tailpiece. Beatiful flamed maple body and neck! The L5S came out in 1973 and was actually a “solid-body version” of Gibson successful L5 Jazz guitar and features a lot of similar appointments such as the highly flamed 5-piece maple neck and body, the multi-bound 24 3/4″scale ebony fretboard, the extensively-styled L-5 headstock with famous flower-pot inlay and 6x Kluson “Sealfast” machine-heads. The L5S was by far Gibson most expensive electric guitar back then. The Gibson L5S turned out to be not very successful, even so many famous players could be seen with a L5S such as Pat Matino, Keith Richard, Mark Farner (Grand Funk), Ron Wood, Neil Schon (Journey) and many others. The weight is rather light with 4,35Kg. Incl. orig. Gibson two-latch protector case.
