In 1974, Yamaha introduced the "L-series" lineup, which was designed to be more upscale.
The first model was the "L-31".
This model was a luxury sublimation of the FG-2000, and led to the Custom Series released in 1975.
The "L" in the series name stands for "Luxury," and this series consisted of the highest grade models among the FG, N, and L series lined up at that time.
Furthermore, the four models in the L series lineup from 1975 are commonly known as the "Four Heavenly Kings," an ostentatious title, and each of the four models has a distinctive appearance and design that attracts the eye.

The L-52 CUSTOM made in 1978 is introduced here.
As you can see from the word "CHARLY" on the fingerboard inlay, this particular model was not ordered by a music store, but by a private individual.
The nut width is usually 44mm, but this one has a 42mm nut width. The neck shape is also rather thin, so it is easy to play even for a petite body.
The consignor seems to have used it for recording and live performance after he got it.
The natural black body with natural relics is very cool and has been used well.

The crisp and crisp maple sound is very crisp, and mixed with a thick bass range, I can imagine that it is very versatile.
It is easy to understand why John Lennon and Paul Simon fell in love with this sound.

A top-of-the-line acoustic in player's condition.
Please give it a try.
Original hard case included (one clasp broken).
