    I kinda like the VW better. It got better gas mileage and it just fit me better.

    Btw, congrats on your L5. No matter what, the L5 is the king.

    As far as Bugatti goes, I'd go for vintage instead:

    Bugatti Royale

    or

    The L5 Wes and the Tal Farlow are my favorite guitars. A big Congrats. 1 pickup is all you will ever need. Wes knew that.

    JD , You might prefer the Bugatti Veyron
    ( Volkswagen ) a tad more expensive.
    I would send a pic of mine but it’s in for
    a frost pink wrap.

    This is a dream nobody got an L5. We must see to believe. The road cyclist in me says.........oh you did a solo century in 5 hours.......show us the Strava GPS.

    Pics, pics, pics, how about a clip of the sound.

    Jab, I can solo on a bike much better than a guitar...........and I am old guy.

    Now what we need is to solo on a Wes L5. May the OP can loan us his for a week or two to keep it singing.

    Sorry guys. I posted late and had issues getting the photos up. I figured I would handle it first thing in the AM. I forgot! Anyway, I retrieved the photos from Icloud and they are up!

    That’s a great looking L5. That sunburst on a Wes is just classic. Even if you have to scramble to sell stuff now, it’s worth it because that guitar will be with you for the rest of your life and after an L5 any other guitars are just for fun. Enjoy!

    That's a beauty, jazzjames! Big Congrats! It looks brand new. Only the medallion is patinaed. I know the feeling of opening the case and seeing that beauty in quiet repose in there. And then lifting it up and out of the case. And tuning up and plugging it in and hearing it for the first time.

    OK, I'm gonna lay off the balls-busting cycling jokes now. Still wanna hear deacon mark speak after a 5-hour ride...

    Gorgeous specimen indeed. Something about a L5 makes everything else feel inadequate which of course is not true except when you are actually playing the L5. L5’s and Super 400’s.....top of the food chain baby. Yah

    Even a person that doesn’t know squat about guitars stops and takes notice when you pull a L5 out of a case.
    It will stop anyone in there tracks to marvel at. Like a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.

    One pickup is all I've needed since 1988! I'm so fortunate to finally have the opportunity after 30 years of wanting one!

    Thanks so much! I am gigging with it for the next 3 days and I'm still afraid to touch it! LOL! It really responds how I have wanted a guitar to respond and after 30 years I finally got one!
