1960 Gibson L5C Acoustic Electric Guitar Sunburst

Bay Area Vintage Guitars proudly offers this fabulous 1960 Gibson L5C Sunburst w/ floating pickguard pickup, HSC and Hang Tag!

Timeless elegance. A jazz icon. The inspirational archtop guitar. These are just a few of the descriptions that fit Gibson’s L-5. Add to those a historical antecedent: the L-5 in various forms has been in constant production since late 1922, longer than any Martin, Gretsch, Epiphone, or National model.

This L5C's meticulously crafted body and the added floating pickup offer a rich and resonant sound, perfect for jazz, blues, and beyond. It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and a pinnacle of vintage Gibson guitars from the late 1950s into the 1960s when quality materials and attention to detail were paramount.

Key Features:

• Classic Sunburst Finish: Features a stunning sunburst finish that highlights the exquisite wood grain of the arched top. The neck has beautiful 'flames' that enhance the beauty of this vintage guitar.
• All Original Condition: This L5C is a rare find preserved in its all-original condition. It has some light dings and scratches from 64 years of gentle playing and a noticeable scratch on the back of the headstock that doesn't affect playability or comfort. The original frets and fretboard show light wear.
• Added Floating Pickguard Pickup: This guitar features a floating pickup, enhancing its versatility without compromising its acoustic integrity.
• Iconic Bumblebee Capacitor: The bumblebee capacitor is legendary among enthusiasts for its warm, rich tones. This subtle yet significant addition makes this guitar an instrument and a piece of history.
• Vintage Hard Shell Case: This beauty is protected by a vintage hard shell case, which looks to have protected it for many, many years.
• Neck Measurements: This beauty has a nice, slim neck (see images): 1.72" width at the 1st fret, with .81" depth at the first fret, and .87" at the 9th fret.
• Weight: 6 lbs, 6 oz. (2.89 kg)
