The Story

1996 L-5 CES Custom Slow Iced Tea Fade

This is a used and in overall very good condition 1996 Gibson L-5 CES model in a custom Slow Iced Tea Fade finish! The guitar has wear around the body including some scratches and markings in the body. Most of the wear is seen in lacquer checking and chipping along the sides of the fretboard around the neck heel area as pictured. The guitar plays nicely, and it's always nice to see a well-loved L-5 which is one of the most iconic designs in Gibson's history!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
