I finally decided which would be the archtop for me, the choice fell on Gibson's house !!! I opted for a Gibson L5 CES vintage sunburst !!! Here I also show a L5 CT of my musician friend Nino Cavallaro.
I do not mind stikers "custom shop", however I will evaluate in the future. I'm always a bit reluctant to change what any of my guitars, maybe I do it for better conservation over time.
Congrats! The new L-5s are beautiful and great sounding/playing guitars. I had the privilege of trying out a red one like your friend's a year or so ago, it was heavenly.
Great giffent!!!! Great guitar, for me a dream come true with this two L5;
The test sessions with my friend Nino, with these two L5 attached to my Fender twin Reverb have become a haven. Really really a dream !!!!
Those are fine guitars. My teacher has an older L5, maybe early 90s, upon which I gaze enviously every time we practice. It even sounds beautiful unplugged.

Good for you, Paolo!
Reminiscent of my early 70's Super 400...Teardrop Golden Sunburst I think they call it...
Very nice!
Beautifull super 400!!!!! Grazie BabaJoe!!!!

The L5 must be one of the most beautiful guitars ever made. Such a perfect shape.
You are allowed to take the sticker off the pickguard you know.
Gorgeous!

Lovely!! Body sort a like a Byrdland except it's thinner.
I wish there had been that Eliitist reissue done with a sharp cut.
But at this point I am not spending 6K on any guitar. :- (
Wow!! GORGEOUS!!! Both of those guitars are on my Bucket List of Bucket Lists!
