Updated and enhanced electric version of an acoustic classic from 1922.
Gibson put a pair of P-90 single-coil pickups and a rosewood bridge on the first 31 L-5 CES models to emerge from the original Kalamazoo plant in '51. Although the guitars never went into high production, the company's engineers continued to work on numerous modifications. In 1958, 21 examples of the classic version of the L-5 CES that's produced today by Gibson's Custom Shop emerged, beefed up with two humbucking pickups and an ABR-1 bridge.
