2012 Gibson L5CES w/ Rosewood fretboard - what's your max pay for this archtop?

[2bornot2bop]

the thread's OP was 2b. He's the one who took it in a different direction.

We have the lawsuit L5s,

and now we have have the Amended Lacey Act L5s, eh? Or the Fish, Game and Wildlife L5s. Or the Obama L5s.

heck I don't know what to call these fugly things Can you guys help?

BTW - Happy Independance Day! Long live the America that the Founders built!

In 2b's defense, his rebuff of the propaganda and political dig was very mild:

U really had to go there? whatever.

But in the end, in spite of the guitars mismatched look, I kind of like it. But for a bit less, $5500, I can buy a '97 CES in SB. Still, I think the black looks striking. I'd have bought the WesMo L5 that recently sold for $4750, IF, it had been a CES.

I thought gentlemen didn't discuss finances.

Enough with the politics and history, guys. I'm going to work back and delete (in whole or in part) comments that ignore the topic of discussion and stray into politics. This ain't the thread for that.

Good sense, we could all use some or a lot of it.

May i implore you to at least leave the 46 HD Knucklehead picture up? i have taken a shine to it and if I have to endure knuckleheads, make it a 46 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead.

Here is one Jimi Hendrix rode; it's guitar related:

who cares about L-5's, all I want to know is how Jab posts w/out the little green online light being on.

Your confusion is understandable. Your original question, and my response to it, concerned what I or a dealer paid.

A suggestion of what I'd hypothetically pay is not the same thing.

actually it wasn't what, but who

[2bornot2bop]

actually it wasn't what, but who

Out of respect for the dealer in question, who also frequents this forum, I chose not to answer...that is all.

[Jabberwocky]

.....that is unless you're in Illinois

Oh blimey, I just got your Illinois reference, Urbana-Champaign, home of the illustirious Fighting Illini, of course...Took me a good long while. Duh.

See, momma was right, that's what happens when one wrestles with oink-oinks. Getting pretty porky around here.

Yellow befits me. I love dogs but not always stewed and never casseroled.
