Axel Hagen solo jazzguitar performance on his 1938 Gibson L5

[JamesGranick1]

Axel, Ronnie is my uncle, though I never knew him because he died at such a young age. I had his guitar refurbished - it was funny to see the guys at McCabe's fawn over the guitar when I opened up the case- but I never really knew what it could sound like until I listened to your performance here. Great stuff!! Thanks!

@JamesGranick1 Any chance you have recordings from your uncle Ronnie? Cheers, Ries

The guitar was renecked by Gibson in the 60ties and probably refinished,

the body is from the 30ties as is the pickup, it was a custom order and is a very rare guitar and wonderful to play, I am glad I own it, thanks for your critical note, cheers Axel

I thought the earliest blond L5s were 1939?
