Product information

This 2015 Gibson Custom L-5 Custom Wes Montgomery Crimson Edition model just came in on consignment, and it's an excellent example of one of Gibson's finest electric archtops.

Featuring a high-grade spruce top and maple back and rims, the 17" body delivers rich, woody tone with power and clarity. Multi-ply binding accents the top and back in elevated fashion only found on Gibson's top-tier guitars.

The guitar’s 5-piece neck is constructed of three pieces of Figured Maple and two Walnut laminations supporting a 20-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays and multi-ply white binding. Comfortable action and smooth playing neck profile make for a very easy playing archtop.

It remains in excellent overall condition with just light signs of play wear throughout. The knobs have been replaced. The frets are in great condition as well. It comes in its original hardshell case along with all original paperwork and COA.
