If you're a Wes Montgomery devotee, you'll want to put this well-kept 1998 L-5CT on your short list - it simply has "that" sound.

Why We Love This

Featuring a high-grade spruce top and maple back and rims, its body is 17-inches wide, 21-inches long, and 2 1/2-inches deep – dimensions key to its rich, dark, woody tones. Multi-ply binding in black or white accents the top and back, and single-ply white binding outlines the f-holes.

The guitar’s neck is made of high-grade maple and walnut supporting a 20-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays and multi-ply black or white binding. The ES rounded profile neck has a 25 1/2-inch scale length with a 1 11/16-inch width at the nut. Simply put? It plays great and sounds fantastic. Low action and the slightly chunky neck make for a very easy playing archtop.
