Gibson Custom Shop L5 (Crimson Series) - this is an exceptionally rare guitar.
Historically, in the mid 50's only about a 110 to 120 of these guitars were ever built. One was owned by Scotty Moore (Elvis's Guitarist on such classics as "That's Alright Mama"'. What make this guitar so rare are the Alnico V pickups, these were only installed on the L5 between 1954 and 1955 (in 57 they were fitted PAF humbuckers). Gibson a few years ago produced approximately about 3 L5's with the Alnico V on them. The example shown is one of them from their Crimson Series. The guitar is a Jazz aficionados' and Rock-a-Billy guitarist's dream.
