A 1982 Gibson L5 CES Custom in rough shape gets some TLC. This Gibson L5 CES Archtop came back to life! The Gibson L5 is now ready to play! I restored the Gibson L5 to its former glory. The Gibson L5 is coveted by all serious jazz guitarists.

In this Gibson L5 video, I’ll talk about:

● What happened to this great guitar? - I’ll talk about how a great archtop can get into such bad condition.
● What I did to restore it - I’ll talk about cleaning it up, replacing key parts, and setting up the guitar to get it back into playing condition.
● How it sounds - I’ll play several tunes on this great Gibson L5 archtop to show you the great tone.

Considering a Gibson L5 CES archtop? This video is a must-watch!
