Krausch violin bow (pernambuco stick, nickel and silver fittings), and our D-shape case, with 2 bow holders, music pocket, handle, strap, and Cordura cover. “We truly love the Maestro violin that we purchased from StringWorks. It’s a tremendous joy to hear our son play an instrument of such high quality and it has such a remarkably beautiful appearance. He is very proud of his fine instrument and the CodaBow is really outstanding, too. His teacher was also delighted with this violin and couldn’t put it down. It has a powerful, yet warm tone that is really impressive. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would recommend StringWorks to anyone interested in getting an excellent instrument and a great value.”- B.H.

| Gibson Custom Shop L-5 CES Guitar, Vintage Sunburst |
The depth and mellowness of the L-5 CES is winning acclaim for this fine guitar from the most discriminating artists. The tonal quality of the acoustic guitar and the advantages of an electric are combined in one instrument. Very few carved guitars are built each year because of the scarcity of the wood required and the handcrafting involved. The building of the L-5s is overseen by Jim Hutchins, a Gibson Builder since 1963. The process has remained relatively unchanged since the 1950s, including the hand-tuning of the top and back. Guitarists sing the praises of the comfortable neck; the fast, easy action; and the rich beauty of the carved spruce top. Other features include a figured, carved maple back with solid maple rims; a pearl inlaid ebony fingerboard; and beautiful multi white-black binding. With the creation of the L-5 in the 1920s, the modern archtop guitar was invented and it has set the standard for all carved guitars that have followed.
