Frog burst!

Dragon burst!

No:

OMG that’s as bad as it gets.

We gearheads make a life by correctly seeing giant differences where others correctly see no difference.

Phrased otherwise, the people who think that an L-5 sounds like an ES-175 are correct too.

To my ears and given my set up, there is a difference between my Gibson archtops (L5 CES, L5 Studio, ES175). But similarities as well. Those that think you can have too many guitars will never know the pleasure of sipping coffee while playing them back to back to note and enjoy the nuances each has to offer. Life is good.

No:

Dangit Hammer. And just how am I suppose to un-see that?

Think happy thoughts. That Emerald Green Byrdland haunts my dreams.

Ted Nuge would like it.

This just came across my screen from 'Verb. I do like the mix of black and chrome hardware on it.

Let's see one in acid green-aka puke green...

[jim777]

Yes:

I would probably trade my car for that

[Sleeko]

The tailpiece sets the green off nicely. I thought these came in a red to black sunburst as well no?

[AllanAllen]

The latest and short-lived version of the L-5 Studio was offered in two colours: "Army Green" and "Cartridge Brass," with a standard L-5 tailpiece, nickel-plated w/wooden badge. Consider yourself corrected.

Why do they think militarizing the L-5 will move more units?

Maybe in otherwise hard to reach markets and with government funding?
