1978 Gibson L5S - Fireburst

1978 Gibson L5S in excellent+ condition and all original and in the rare Fireburst finish. Actually a deep 3-Tone Sunburst finish, rich color and not faded. Some very minor play wear - it looks actually exceptionally clean! The gold-plating on the hardware also has only minor wear. 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 4,55Kg. Incl. orig. Gibson case.
