This Guitar Collection Is Begging for a Red L5CES....

[icr]

I have been looking for an appropriate L5CES to join these guitars for over a decade. I already have an Asian L5 copy and a 1947 L7, but those are not the real deal.

BTW, the guitars in the picture:

1990s Howard Robert Fusion III
2000s ES175
2000s ES335
1990s ES135
1970s Les Paul Custom

This is my current L5; not the real deal. Has laminate top, but otherwise sounds good and plays well.

This one is somewhat homemade. I took a 1990s Sebring (Taiwan) husk and added some Gibson USA components.

Looks nice. Nut width 43mm/1 11/16" ?

[icr]

Nut width? Can't say I have much sensitivity to that on electric guitars or have ever measured it. Over 30 electric guitars and to me they are all 'about the same;' whatever that would be in millimeters.

For classical, however, 52mm at least, since I have big fingers.

Man, too bad the Sebring is the wrong color!

But, really that is a screamin' collection

Your project with that Sebring inspired me, and I have a Sebring L5 "husk" and just waiting for a block of time to do the components.

I thought this was going to be a PSA for a couple of red L5s that were on Reverb recently for good prices. I think they might have sold already. One of them was down to $6,700.
