Description

This 2002 Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery is a stunning, limited-edition archtop guitar that pays tribute to the legendary jazz guitarist. With its 17-inch maple body and carved solid spruce top, this instrument offers a rich, warm tone that's perfect for jazz and beyond. It features the original Gibson humbucking pickup, delivering a smooth, vintage sound with great clarity and depth. The guitar's 5-piece maple and walnut neck, paired with an ebony fingerboard, ensures a comfortable and smooth playing experience. Finished with gold hardware and a Wes Montgomery-engraved tailpiece, this guitar is not just an instrument, but a beautiful collector’s piece, prized for both its craftsmanship and exceptional sound. This guitar is in excellent condition, showing only minor dings and scratches consistent with over 20 years of use. The frets exhibits minimal wear, maintaining a high level of playability. It remains completely original, with no modifications or replacements other than a strap button added to the heel.
