The Gibson L-5 model needs little introduction; players such as Wes Montgomery, Scotty Moore and Tuck and Patti have made the sound of an L-5 legendary. This beautiful example is an L5-C or Custom L-5 from 1978 and is in wonderful condition. It is completely original but for the pickguard and nut and has a recent refret done to perfection. So not only is this one look stunning, it plays exquisitely up the entire neck.
The sound of Wes Montgomery is etched in the minds of many guitarist, as is that of the riffs Scotty Moore played on the great Presley records. The L-5 is an icon in archtop guitar and this one is stunning. It was refretted perfectly so it's ready to play, no vintage headaches to deal with. Strung with phosphor bronze, it's punchy and with half rounds it's mellow and sweet. A rare and beautiful Gibson guitar. 
This is a custom, acoustic archtop L5-C. It takes me back to the early days of Jazz when archtops were used by all of the band guitarists to cut through on the rhythm chops. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
