So far very pleased and impressed.
The missing inch makes a huge difference to comfort! (compared to my l5ces).
Also impressed at the acoustic volume.
Any CT fans out there?
For some reason I always considered the CT kinda "not a true L5". I'm converted!

Wow, that's a nice one. I would have gone nuts until I had it in my hot little hands. You've got to be really pleased. Happy NGD.
-
Very very nice!
-
Let me say, it's a joyous day around here when an L5 appears in any size. And a joyous sunburst too! Well done!

Another when Gibson really gets it right. I always wanted a CT. Super sweet ! Had to come back for another look.

Congrats- thanks for sharing your NGD. I’ve always been curious about the tone of L5 CT version, glad to hear your liking it . Danny W is also another admirer.

Definitely worthy of a straightening

Congratulations on your NGD, a stunning pic of the L5CT, you will
find they are more popular than you imagine, I acquired my Blonde
2008 model la year ago, being unable to find another L5CES the
equivalent of my superb 2014 Blonde Crimson Custom which I
sold earlier much to my regret .There is very little difference in the
tone IMO. I am happy with the L5CT and agree that is definitely
more comfortable to play due to it's shallower depth. One of our
notable members, Chris Whiteman, also owns a L5CT which you
can see and hear on one of his YT videos. Respectfully I will not
post a pic, i prefer others to drink in the glory of your NGD.
Best regards Silverfoxx

For about 6 weeks I was ogling an acoustic blonde L-5 CT with a floater (BJB) on a german website , advertised at a VERY
attractive price, albeit with a well-repaired headstock fissure - I was a good boy and didn't bite. That kind of guitar, a 17" with slim rims, is so comfortable and handles so well on stage while still having THAT tone - I always wondered why it's not more widely used.
I had Victor Baker build me exactly that (in plywood though) some 12 years ago and that guitar is one of three in my gig-rotation, besides a Heritage Super-Eagle and my Trenier Jazz Special. You did good !
-
Well done! Fantastic guitar.
-
Congrats and may she inspire your playing for many years to come!
-
Super cool guitar!
-
I finally had chance to plug the CT in and get to grips with it.
It really is a very very comfortable guitar.
Sonically the difference is minimal in comparison to my CES. Possibly the CT has a kinfa more focused / direct quality to the bass end. I defy anyone to hear a difference blindfolded.
I'm happy ?
-
Congratulations on the CT! That's a winner by far. I've always thought that this would be one to enjoy. I'm sure you will be quite happy!
Cheers!

The CT is the sports car of jazz boxes.
-
If there was a guitar at the end of the rainbow, it would look like that one.

Nick what year is it ? CT’s are super rare and pretty hard to find.
Also cost more than a CES. You scored a sweetie Sir. Love it !
