1939 Gibson L5N

Darn it dude.
That was an awesome piece I'd set-up and recrowned for the owner prior to the Gruhn sale.
I also don't think it was a refret they had done.lol
It was owned by the house guitarist at a place called The Myers Lake Ballroom on Canton Ohio.
That thing was used by so many old touring jazz players, and big band artists from back in the day.
It was a beautiful piece, and I'm glad you got to enjoy it while ya had it.

Hi, This is without question one of the nicest guitars I’ve ever seen posted here.
It is truly a magnificent example of one of the most iconic archtops in history. You must be over the moon!
Thanks for sharing. Incredible.

Lovely Old Non Cut L-5! And wonderful for intimate situations. But that said,not many actual gigs I could see it being played on.

But there really aren’t many gigs any longer to worry about,Lol!
