Overview
The Gibson L-5 CES is the electric cutaway version of the iconic L-5 acoustic archtop. In the first years of production, it featured P-90 pickups and later Alnico V pickups until humbuckers debuted in 1957, which is still uses. Unlike most other Gibson guitars, it has a 25.5 inch scale. It featured a sharp cutaway between 1960 - 1969, with a rounded cutaway for all other years.
This model is also produced in limited numbers in a natural finish, which creates slightly higher value.
Years of Production: 1951 - present
