Gibson Custom Shop 2011 L-5CES Wes Montgomery, Blonde
Offered for sale is this stunning Wes Montgomery variant on the L-5CES, shown here in an ever more rare natural finish. It appears all original, with a carved spruce top and solid figured maple back and sides. A single '57 classic pickup is the perfect choice for these jazzboxes, clear and crisp but warms up with a slight touch to the tone knob. It is in excellent shape with minimal wear to the nitro lacquer finish. A single pickup L-5CES especially in this natural finish is hard to come by, so don't miss out on this stellar example! Serial #22271003, comes with the original case.
