Gibson L5 Custom - the Kalamazoo Masterpiece



I've been enjoying it for a week, now... a 1976 Gibson L5 Custom hollow body guitar, hand-carved spruce top and maple back, powerful PAF hambucking pickups, Grover Tulip tuning gears... 






It's a bliss, full bodied sounding, so rich in harmonic texture...

The fretboard is pure silk... it was both well played and carefully taken: previously owned by two prominent Italian jazz players, this instrument seems to know how to play scales and chords by its own! 

Love it!
