Here??s what we know, and what we don??t, about this early 1960s Gibson Johnny Smith guitar. There was finish added to the back of the headstock, which has made the serial number difficult to read. It??s clear there are only 5 digits, and we??re fairly certain they are 58061, which would date this guitar to 1962. Gibson's 5 digit serial number system became 6 digits in 1963, and the Johnny Smith models was introduced in 1961, so even if our reading of the number isn??t exact the guitar dates ... more

Thanks for looking! I purchased this guitar used maybe 15 years ago. Since, I had a new nut cut to widen strings a bit (narrow 1 56 inch board at nut - great for small hands!) - and I purchased a used Johnny Smith pickguard - installed by pro. I got the pickguard from a shop closing in NOLA quarter maybe 12 years ago - 100 cash - I doubt there was much in the way of knockoffs back then, but I can??t be certain it is from a Gibson. That said, it is really tight work on 5 ply and pickup / knobs. ... more

This 1953 Gibson L-5CN is one of just four shipped by Gibson that year. At the time this was the top of the line, most expensive 17-inch archtop made by Gibson, due to the cutaway and the necessity for the absolute best woods because of the natural finish. Speaking of the woods, notice the intensely flamed maple used for the back of this guitar. The top is fine grained spruce, the fretboard is ebony with block mother of pearl inlays, as is traditional for an L-5, and the neck is 3-ply flamed ... more
