This Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery came out of the Gibson Custom Shop Crimson division in 2013, making it part of the elite line of custom shop guitars of the era. This quality shows throughout this all orginal example.
With its single neck position Gibson 57 Classic humbucker in the 17-inch carved archtop design this guitar delivers the much sought after Wes type tone. The woods are all of the highest quality with a beautiful spruce top and highly flamed back and sides. The 5-ply maple neck also shows stunning figuring.
The frets show some wear, but have at least 70% of their life left. The finish is in very good condition with mostly only very light surface scratches. There are a few very small chips and dents in the top finish of the lower bout. Otherwise, the guitar is in excellent condition and ready to play!
