Wes’s 80th Birthday Guitar
If he were still alive, Wes would have turned 80 on March 6th of this year. To commemorate his 80th birthday, Gibson released a special edition guitar. Thanks to the courtesy of Walkin in Shibuya, I am sharing the following article.
The new standard model in the L-5 series, the Wes Montgomery L-5. This is a brand new 2003 anniversary edition, officially imported to celebrate Wes’s 80th birthday! This model has a pleasing acoustic sound, balanced between the L-5CES and L-5C. When you play this model with thick strings using fingerstyle, you will feel just like Wes Montgomery! The body’s flame wood grain is also a powerful presence.
*This shipment includes an “engraved pickguard” with a heart mark design and a special certificate proving its limited edition status.
