The entire series is considered to be of very high quality. Introduced in 1975 for the Japanese domestic market, the L-5 was one of the early models in the lineup. The L-5 features a spruce top with laminated rosewood back and sides, an ebony fingerboard and bridge (changing to rosewood in 1979). Around 1985, production of most L-series models ceased. From 1975 through the mid-1980s, the L-series guitars were handmade in Japan for the domestic market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe headstock features a rosewood veneer with a mahogany back and a rosewood truss rod cover.
