Overview
A limited-edition Gibson classic signed by Ron Wood himself! A '70s classic spec'd out for the ultimate rock star, with chambered maple body, five-ply neck, Burst Bucker pickups, and LP Custom-style 'Tuxedo Features.' Only 50 of these guitars have been signed by Ron Wood, so get yours today to make an incredible addition to your collection!
Although we think of all the great Gibson electrics as being made in the golden age of the '50s and early '60s, a few genuine classics slipped in during the years between the end of that era and the rebirth of Gibson standards a little over two decades ago. The L-5S is one such guitar: Gibson's top-tier solidbody at the time of its introduction in 1973, it has long been the favorite of Rolling Stones and Faces guitarist Ron Wood--an artist who knows a rock star guitar when he finds one.
Updating the format to the exacting standards of 2015, Gibson Custom introduces the Ron Wood L-5S, a finely crafted artist's guitar that sounds every bit as upmarket as it looks. Distinctive features include a chambered maple body with carved top, the five-ply maple/walnut/maple L-5S neck, and iconic Les Paul Custom-style Tuxedo Features such as multi-ply top and back binding, pearl block inlays, a multi-ply Custom headstock with pearl split-diamond inlay, and gold hardware throughout. Add Ronnie's choice of Burst Bucker 1 and 2 humbuckers and you're ready to rock.
Ron Wood gets his hands on custom Gibson L5S and gives each one his signature:
- Artist Preferred Neck Profile that was made to Ron Wood Specifications for Comfort and Feel
- Matched Pair of Burstbucker Pickups voiced for depth and 'growl' to compliment the L5S maple body
- Les Paul Custom Aesthetics of Gibson's classic 'Tuxedo' look for enduring beauty
