Gibson / L5S / 1978 / Guitar

The Gibson L5S. Introduced by Gibson to bridge the divide between the archtop and solid body guitars. While the L5S was mainly marketed towards Jazz-guitarists, the 'Tar-Back' Humbuckers give the Gibson L5S a following within a lot of different genres. This Gibson L5S is from 1978, and features the Schaller bridge and Gibson TP6 'Micro Tune' tailpiece. An unconventional construction of laminated maple for the neck and body give the Gibson L5S its unique appearance and sound. The 'Tar-Back' pickups give the L5S its versatile character. The guitar sounds warm and dark, with plenty of identity and definition in the lower frequencies, and a pronounced balance between high and mid frequencies. This Gibson L5S still has its original frets, and while they are running low, this L5S is still comfortable to play. With the sides of this L5S being even thinner than a 'SG', it has an astounding amount of sustain, and the guitar feels very solid. Comes with 'Norlin era' Hardcase. Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
