    Thank you very much to let us see the whole process of that resurrection. This guitar looks gorgeous and I would be very interested to hear it.

    By the way, I'm lucky you posted this photograph of an opened vintage l7c box. As I can see, the neck block is narrower than the measurements given in the benedetto book (I'm working on a repro of the l7)

    Can I ask you the weight your guitar ?

    Here's another one - a L-5/JS/ES-350 mashup: a '54 Gibson ES-350, with a JS-style top either made by or installed by Benedetto. Old JS pickup, L-5 tailpiece. Pickguard by Nick Bachman in the pre-war style. The reverse plating thing is gorgeous, IMO. I'd love to play this one.

    Weight to come. Note that the neck block is extended on the bass side to allow for a strap button to be installed into the rim of the guitar.

    Yes, but what strikes me the most is that the length of the neck block is maybe a third shorter than the one I have stuck in my repro.

    The finished instrument weight around and 2.2 kg without all the hardware. And maybe it can be lightened a bit more the without damaging the strength of the neck joint.

    The Gibsellone Award weighs just a hair over 6 pounds, 1 ounce | 2.75 Kg.

    Here's the guitar that was build with a late 1950s L-4/L-4C top. It's a thinline, short-scale, rosewood trim, and Acer Saccharum back. It has a strong acoustic voice. Note the snakehead, Gibson-style tuners, dot inlays, strap button placement, and Gibson f-holes. Pure performance machine:

    Thank you for your reply and to have taken the time to weight it.
    That's a light instrument considering the weight of the hardware.
    A superb project
