D'Angelico 16.5 inches wide as in the style of the early Loar L5.
The guitar is refinished in an attractive sunburst, has no cracks or structural issues. It plays and sounds amazing, as it is clear and responsive.
The early guitars (.5 inches larger than
the L5s they where modeled from) have no serial #'s. One is on exhibit at the Met in Nyc as part of Rudy's collection on 48th st. in NYC. However that one also refinished is not done in sunburst
as John did on these models.
It comes with the original Lifton case, replica pick guard. I have a Dearmond 1000
for a small charge that can be included. 10k |

Anderson Oval asymetrical hole 17" blond acoustic $4,500 |
1939 Gibson L5 17" with original case Not all parts original, such as the tuners Some work was done on the
fingerboard to make it more playable. Although it has lost some of the arching, in this era
the arching was less pronounced than in other periods. Whatever slight stress this may cause
to the top has a favorable effect on the tone. The tone is at its prime. This guitar
is far superior to any other L5 of this period that I have seen. One would have to go a long
way to find a more perfectly balanced rhythm guitar. This arching's profile has remained
stable for many years (testimony of former owner) and will (I believe) for many years to come. 6K |
