This is a custom, acoustic archtop L5-C. It takes me back to the early days of Jazz when archtops were used by all of the band guitarists to cut through on the rhythm chops. The sound of Wes Montgomery is etched in the minds of many guitarist, as is that of the riffs Scotty Moore played on the great Presley records. The L-5 is an icon in archtop guitar and this one is stunning. It was refretted perfectly so it's ready to play, no vintage headaches to deal with. Strung with phosphor bronze, it's punchy and with half rounds it's mellow and sweet. A rare and beautiful Gibson guitar. - http://www.dreamguitars.com/products/gibson/gibson_lc-5_70676086/gibson_lc-5_70676086.php
