Here you go. I have the dvd, much better resolution. Anyway you get a enough of a look around 19:15 to get an idea how wide his frets were.

Thanks guys.
The thing that strikes me is, there really is NOTHING like the neck on an L5.
Its such a substantial surface for your hand. Nothing compares to the neck on an L5.
OK, that's next...

I have Adrian Ingrams book about Wes Montgomery. I can't lay my hands on it now. There is a quote (from Wes) in there which makes one think that he wasn't very particular about his guitar. I also remeber reading a quote (from his wife I think) that he was never happy with his amps and was always getting them modified. I know this is vague, so I shall try and find the book.

He is one of the greats. I love the bite on his sound on this.
Tasteful, clean, substantive... Perfection.

I have one from the 2002 batch that I bought from Gryphon Stringed in Palo Alto.Last edited by Jabberwocky; 03-23-2017 at 06:42 AM.
