Only six Crests were produced (all in 1961), and no two were identical. Gibson produced another model called a "Crest" in 1969–70, but this was a different type of instrument, similar to an ES-330, but with a rosewood body and floating pickups. In the 1970s, Gibson produced the L-5S, which was effectively a solid-body version of the L-5 archtop.
