Alleva Coppolo LG5 Classic – 1956 Ford Desert Coral
NO SALES TAX | FREE SHIPPING | ONLY AT FRETSPOT.COM
This one-of-a-kind Alleva Coppolo LG5 Classic isn’t just a showstopper – it’s a time capsule. Finished in “Desert Coral” pink using actual 1956 Ford automotive lacquer, this bass features a story and sound like nothing else. The paint was hand-selected and applied by the legendary “Professor,” who acquired it back in 1958. Nearly 75 years later, it lives again – encased in nitrocellulose lacquer to breathe, age, and inspire.
Why this bass stands out
Beyond the jaw-dropping backstory and iconic pink finish, this LG5 delivers the tone, feel, and build quality Alleva Coppolo is known for. With an alder body and an insanely dark Indian rosewood fingerboard (seriously, it looks like Brazilian), this is the kind of instrument that becomes the centerpiece of any collection. Whether you want to lovingly pamper it or take it out and gig hard – it’s ready.
