2003 Gibson L5 Natural

2003 Gibson L-5 CES JH Master Model Natural Archtop Electric Guitar, Serial #22603001. This 2003 Gibson L-5 CES JH (James Hutchins) Master Model is a custom-ordered, high-end archtop electric guitar, showcasing exceptional wood selection for both its carved top and back. The fine, even-grained spruce top provides a warm, resonant tone, while the stunning flamed maple back, sides, and neck add both visual appeal and tonal clarity. The natural finish highlights the premium craftsmanship and remains in outstanding condition, with only very minor signs of playwear. The tailpiece plating shows even corrosion, giving it a naturally aged look, but the rest of the hardware remains in great shape. Equipped with P90 Alnico Staple pickups, this guitar delivers a classic, articulate tone that jazz and blues players highly value. With no fret wear, this professional-grade instrument remains in top condition. There is an inside label signed and dated by Master Luthier James W. Hutchins. Original hard case included. Condition: Excellent. HID05201242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
