Gibson Custom

collapse expand iconDescription

Not all vintage guitars were first built in the 1950's. In the periods between "The Golden Era" and the rebirth of Gibson Solid Body guitars as today' new icons in their own right, a few gems found their way into the mix. Ask Ron Wood which of those flew most unnoticeably under the radar and he™ll tell you the L5S is the most beloved to him personally.

Gibson Custom is pleased to offer a solid body inspired by a time of improbability, from an era that most guitar players might not recognize as having made some significant contributions to music. Applying the standards of craft, material and quality now the norm at Gibson Custom means the new Ron Wood L5S is not only a great retro Gibson design, but one of incredible tone and feel.

Based on Ron Woods favorite '70s vintage Gibson, the redesigned L5S captures both the vibe of the original's under-the-radar vintage cool and the craftsmanship and quality of today's Gibson Custom Shop. The first 50 of this limited run of 300 are each hand-signed and played by the artist as the final step in their quality control process. Includes hardshell case.
