Look this, the depth and mellowness Berkeley L5 guitar is winning acclaim for this fine jazz guitar from the most discriminating artists. The tonal quality of the acoustic guitar and the advantages of an electric are combined in one instrument.The building of the L-5s is hand-tuning of the top and back. Guitarists sing the praises of the comfortable vintage neck; the fast, easy action; and the rich beauty of the carved spruce top. Other features include a carved maple back with solid maple rims; a pearl inlaid ebony fingerboard; and beautiful white-black binding. With the creation of the L-5 in the 1920s, the modern  guitar was invented and it has set the standard for all carved guitars that have followed.
