From a players' perspective, many times the same luthiers, the same or more modestly figured wood, or the amount of trim (and time it takes to incorporate it) were the determining factours in the...
Cool old ES-150 with every piece of hardware replaced. All you need is a P-90 pickup riser, allowing the whole pickup to be raised and the six polepiece screws to be lowered, and you're off to...
I could be wrong but it seems an L7 is talked about as an L5 alternative a lot more than is an L12. In terms of hierarchy I believe it goes, from the top down, L5 - L12 - L7.
I had a 1938 L-10. It was a rare find and started by removing any urge I had to have an L-5. That bird in the hand completely de-mystified the L-5 hunger for me. As I became a better player, I bonded...
I have played many L7's that were sound wise better than typical L5's. You really have to judge each guitar and its specs individually. 1930'S L5 usually do not ever disappoint. But neither do L7's....
So I got the fancy fingerboard elevator but the budget inlays (20 frets but highest dot is 15th). I forgot, the nicer the guitar, the fewer the fret markers...sometimes...

Thank you dconeill. 5G4341 in pencil visible through f-hole opposite controls. Not anything I can make sense of. I have a 5-layer 60 degree bevel repro guard/rest ordered from California...
It's indeed a process that requires proficiency in many different areas and in an environment like this forum, it's going to be even more "noisy" hearing the clarity that's required to engage...
Ime they’re relatively heavy, relatively dull sounding, often have a metallic ringing sound coming from the bridge, when played acoustically. Check the neck and truss rod if you can. That would be...
Thanks I've read about Jonathan Stout's quests and realise his goal has always been acquiring L5s (I believe an L12 on route). I love his playing and would like to hear his comments.
Copyright claim is not a problem on YouTube, it just means that if there is money to be made they will go to the copyright owner, and that YouTube can decide whether or not to run ads on the video....
I would hope Jonathan Stout would chime in. For me, it may just have been expectations or the lack of them, and that '37 L-7 that found me. I guess deep down I'd have expected an L-5 from that...
I don't know how to go about learning jazz anymore
