Guitarist I been working with for a while now has a semi hollow thinline L-5. It's definitely a custom made model. Has the master volume on the lower...
I would have counted everything up until 2:50 as 6/4, based on the phrasing of the melody. After that I get a bit confused as the melody is the same...
Probably not (unless he made one to fit the available space) but a Kent Armstrong single coil floater, floating CC from Pete or even a DeArmond 1100...
Shipping and a guitar to get it plected sounds crazy to me. You add the exposure of shipping damage to a job that can be done competently by someone...

Just saw this morning that German Vintage Guitar (german-vintage-guitar.com) are going to close shop. Sad, they were doing interesting and good work...
Dave, what are the JS 113s that you keep mentioning? I don't know what the JS stands for. I did follow Ron Eschete's example and try a 70 Boomer GHS...
Dave, just saw this. Wow what a nice guitar. I bought one on eBay about 10 years ago, same finish as yours. And then two years ago I bought a natural...
