Blaster Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Here are a few pics of a 1954 L-5N that I acquired several years back. It's in very clean condition. It's got a nice easy feel to it, very full neck contour makes it comfortable to play, always a fun guitar. If you a Gibson archtop post a picture here.

stein Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Amazing piece of history there. One of the best models of guitar ever made with some of the most beautiful wood ever seen. I have not seen birdseye like that on a old Gibby before, not like that. How does it hold up? And what does it sound like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The L-5N has held up well, very light play wear on fretboard and bonding, no wear on neck. It's got the classic Gibson L-5 tone, I like it better acoustically, although I do have one of the DeArmond 1000 series pickups. which makes it honk.

Blaster Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Now you realize we are going to want pics of this L-7N, right? I'll take some pics of the L-7N for comparison; I'l pretty sure it's a 1949. It's also in NM condition Here are a few more of the L-5N" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
