Here are these wonders:
- L5 signed by Lloyd A. Loar on December 1st, 1924 #77404
- L5 of 1930
- L5 Advanced of 1936 # 94139
- L5 N (Natural) of the 1938 #
- L5 PN (Premier Natural) of the 1939 # 96557

Nino, in proposing this very interesting review, he suggested calling her "From Loar to Electric - The story of the Gibson L-5 (1924-1951)". Perfect titration!
Let's remember that these are the tools that made history, and that it is a real privilege to be able to host them at the festival.
Here we offer you only a front photo of each guitar, just to allow you to frame and appreciate the theme well. Other images and all the details on these tools are clearly visible on the site http://www.realvintage.it/collezione.html
