Not for sale!

[tonar8353]

An acquaintance of mine through work inherited this beauty from his father last year. Unfortunately it is not for sale since it is a family heirloom, which is the way it should be. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t dream someday I get the call to send some cash his way. I thought you all would enjoy seeing this beauty.

The color is beautiful!!!

1966 model?

 

[MapleFlame]

What a nice pattern of wood and whoever sprayed that, did a hell of a job. Maybe that guy or gal did some of the Standards of 58-61

1966 model?

A 60 or a 61 (3 ply neck)

Oh man...this is beautiful.
Nothing can beat a Gibson work and tiger-flame maple they used since the first days....Probably PAF's pu 's, must sound religious.

Good luck to the owner.

I don't mind.
They are great guitars event with the laminated back.
I don't know in what extend this could be audible?:hmm

 

[treeofpain]

It sounds like crap, right?



That one will be for sale one day. Every guitar is...

 

[Elliot Easton]

Now that's a Gibson guitar!:salude

 

[BadMotorScooter]

That is truly a work of art! Thanks for sharing!

Byrdland with a varitone?!? Interesting.

 

[andreja marovic]

Some L5's were also made with varitone...
everything was possible at Gibson till the 70's.
Today no custom orders anymore...Gibson doesn't care for his customers anymore.Very sad....

There's a non-cut, late 40's script logo acoustic L5 in my local store with a similarly gorgeous, deep sunburst. It would be a fabulous addition to my meagre stable but, as ever, finances won't allow. And they haven't been able to sell it for 18 months!
