KPL5

DSC00233.JPG

This instrument was inspired by a 1934 Gibson L5 that was restored by Ken Parker. I took a trip to the Dutch Archtop Guitar Museum in the Netherlands to visit the L5 and make my own plans. It features an adjustable neck similar to Parkers and was also inspired by Jamie Swannells neck system.
