I've always wanted to have a Gibson L5-S, especially the one with the low impedance pickups. I've got two Gibson L6-S, one is a reissue and the other is from 1977, they're both great guitars that sound superb for jazz, but can easily cover any other style. The L5-S is kind of a more elegant version of that IMO.

I had a cherry sunburst L5-S, right around 1980. Guitar was just *so* dang heavy! Sold it to a friend, and haven't seen it since.

She comes with the guitar. I might be tempted. I can always sell off the guitar afterwards.

That thick binding is just out-of-style enough to look good! Yes, too bad they don't re-issue that one Martino is playing.

It sums up my perpetual life dilemma;Beautiful guitars and beautiful women; I can’t afford either.
Oh she did "play".

Lol. I noticed the humongous binding also.
I have never heard one of those anywhere or played one- are they Les Paul kinda fat and warm...or even deeper ?

The Stones played these sometimes ?

Interesting- remember when the Stones with Mick Taylor turned into a killer Fusion
Band for about 5 or 6 minutes at the end of
" Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" ?

I was amazed when I heard that- I was like "the Stones are THIS good now?" but they never went there again...

I had one too. Great neck, but I could never get comfortable holding the guitar.

Actually, just the opposite. Brighter and clearer.

But the upper bout is bigger than the lower bout. Of course, that was "in" back then.

Oh - is that what the Betty Page photo has in common with the Guitar ?
"Pronounced upper bout for Vintage Style and Flavor...."
