After waiting days and weeks for pickup delivery (codiv+ Christmas = mail nightmares); the electrification of my 1937 L50 is now achieved!
I will pick it up tomorrow at my luthier's shop, but i wanted to share with you a first picture of my new lover..it is so beautiful (sorry for that "no musical comment").
Cheers
Julien

That is a floater? No hole in the top? That is fantastic!
I have gone both ways. Floater for my L7, but cut a hole in the L50.

Bonsoir Julien,
That's a beauty for sure. Congrats. Is the floater from Pete Biltoft?
Best to you.

Hi ,
Yes it is a floater made by Pete Biltoft from vintage vibe guitars and Jerome Casanova installed it here in Paris (with new pickguard and some set up job also). I Should get thé guitar this afternoon and will share my feedback later.

have you tried a Pete Biltoft CC in a Humbucker mount ever ?
I'd be putting it in a HB neck position on a laminated Ibanez jazz box AF81
I want to get a 'doink' sound similar to Barney's sound ....
or I'm I kidding myself that it would get that type of 'doink' sound
(sorry it's difficult to describe sounds !)
or honestly should I just save up for a Gibson ES 125
and put a Biltoft CC in that
thanks man , love your playing

The tone is fater than Barney's but I'm sure I could get closer if I'd add more trebles.
Other than that a P90 trustful to Gibson's original would do the job.
Hope this helps.
