Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this beautiful Custom Shop L-5 is dialed in and ready to join you onstage tonight. In Excellent condition with minimal wear and tear beyond the factory-supplied VOS finish which gives this guitar a true vintage vibe. VOS is a proprietary process developed by Tom Murphy that Gibson began using in the early 2000's to age finishes and hardware. No faux dings or scrapes as in Relic finishes, nor is this a Murphy Lab treatment per se because there is no finish checking or areas of complete finish removal. A VOS finish simply looks like a well kept vintage guitar that has aged gracefully over the years. Feel free to give us a call for an in-hand description or to ask any questions you may have.
This is a lovely guitar and it plays and sounds just as it looks. If you've always wanted an L-5, you can't go wrong with this Custom Shop model. Comes with original hard shell case. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
