The Gibson L5 - Guitar Book Instrument: Guitar Media: Book Artist: Adrian Ingram Publisher: Centerstream Publications Introduced in 1922, the Gibson L5 is the precursor of the modern archtop 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″. Width: 9" Length: 12" 112 pages
