THE GIBSON L5, Adrian Ingram

THE GIBSON L5, Adrian Ingram

Introduced in 1922, the Gibson L5 is the precursor of the modern archtop guitar. It was the first archtop to feature f-holes, which allowed it to project through the horn-dominated bands of the day.

Its strong, full, warm sound was an immediate and overwhelming success that turned the heads of makers, players and listeners alike.

This book takes a look at its history and most famous players, from its creation, through the Norlin years, to its standing today as the world's most popular jazz guitar.

With its stunning 16-page full-color photo section, this book is a must for every guitar enthusiast's collection! 8-1/2″ x 11″.
