About the Gibson L-5

The Gibson L-5 has been in Gibson's lineup since 1922 — over 104 years of continuous production, which speaks to how well it has been received. Gibson has been building instruments in the United States since 1902. You may also see this listed as "L5", "Gibson L5 CES" — they refer to the same instrument.

Buying Guide

  • 1Play the guitar unplugged first — if it resonates and sustains well acoustically, it'll likely sound good amplified.
  • 2Check the frets for wear. Flat spots and divots mean a fret level or refret may be needed ($200-400).
  • 3Plug in and test every pickup position, and roll the tone and volume knobs through their full range to check for crackling.
