The amazing L-5 CES with a Florentine cutaway”the only one in the world.
The building of the L-5 is overseen by Jim Hutchins, a Gibson builder since 1963. The process has remained relatively unchanged since the 1950s, including the hand-tuning of the top and back. Guitarists sing the praises of the comfortable vintage neck; fast, easy action; and rich beauty of the carved spruce top. Other features on the guitar include a figured, carved maple back with solid maple rims; a pearl inlaid ebony fingerboard; and beautiful multi white-black binding. With the creation of the L-5 in the 1920s, the modern archtop guitar was invented and it has set the standard for all carved guitars that have followed.
