    1935 Gibson L-5

    Sold

    Uncirculated Gibson L-5 serial number 92500 with original sunburst finish in excellent playing condition. I acquired this family heirloom from northern California. It has been well preserved in its original tweed case. 

    Factory order number is 177A-10 is visible inside f hole. This guitar is one of 56 Advanced L-5s shipped in 1935.  The tag inside the case shows it was originally sold at Fife Nichols in Los Angeles-Hollywood, California.

    Details include Gibson script logo, flowerpot inlay, 20 fret fingerboard with block inlays, Grover pat-pend tuners.

    The original sunburst is vibrant and shows beautiful maple flame on back. The gold hardware has perfect 88 year old patina.

    A full refret was given upon its arrival. One crack under the pickguard was stabilized. The pickguard was replaced with a high quality reproduction (original pickguard included). Part of the bridge and one adjustment wheel has been replaced. It now has a clean bill of health and plays beautifully.

    Demo it in our showroom located in Portland, Oregon.
