Book Description
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 worldÕs most popular jazz guitar. With its stunning 16-page full-color photo section, this book is a must for every guitar enthusiastÕs collection! 8-1/2 inch. x 11 inch..
