I'm needing to purchase an automobile, so I'm selling my valued Gibson L5 archtop guitar at this rockbottom cost (over $10k brand-new). This instrument plays and sounds terrific. It is in excellent condition. Handmade by Gibson's Historic Division. Great feel to the neck with best neck angle and frets. Plays like a dream and has that huge fat Gibson sound we all understand and love. Comes with deluxe Gibson case. Willing to think about a trade for a convertible vehicle, ideally a Volvo C70.:-).
I recently had this guitar evaluated for $6k from Wildwood Guitars (Colorado's premier guitar seller). Inspect out their demo of a brand brand-new L5-CES to obtain a concept of the tone. (I think mine sounds even better since it has been broken in!):).
