My Gibsons have been gone for awhile, and while they were great guitars I have no regrets. Carved, single pickup guitars fit my playing needs at this point in my life, and I don’t think I could do any better than these two.

Both!

Nice touch on the Campellone Standard with the hybrid Deluxe/Standard tailpiece.

The dynamic duo! And a beautiful burst.

Mark,
They are just beautiful. I must admit, I am becoming very smitten with the color on your Trenier. Man, that is beautiful.
I can’t imagine moving on from Gibson’s myself. I admire those who can. It’s just not there with me yet.
I will only use TI Jazz Swing 12’s because I love the low tension softness. They are easy on my Girly hands. So that “boutique” guitar sound that I get even with my Gibson’s only lasts till the strings break in. I would never really get the true benefit from a guitar built to sound great acoustically.
Both guitars are gorgeous. I like the photo you have in your avatar at this moment.
Enjoy!

Come on over the the boutique side, Joe! The water’s fine!

Hahaa
I do remember your trepidation when selling the L5. But you did it right. You made sure you were ready. And obviously, you were.
I had the fortune of living with a Campellone for a bit and I must admit, I grew attached to it.
I thought it sounded more like my old Bozeman L7c with a major upgrade. The frets. When you buy a guitar from Campellone, you don’t have to do anything to it. You receive a perfect guitar. Setup to perfection.
I’m still loving the color of the Trenier.

So true, Joe. That is a very good description of my Campellone, except I went with a 25 1/2” scale length. So, in that regard maybe it’s more like an L5C. It is very light and the neck is absolutely perfect.
