Larry, I'm either proud or ashamed (not sure witch) to say that I have 23 L-5's in my collection. 17 have never been played.

I'm so old that I bought several new for around $1300.00. That was 40% off and many years ago.

Believe it or not; the builder can make a major difference in value. Two identical instruments made in the same year by two different Gibson craftsmen can vary in value by up to 40%.

Love my L-5's.
