A few weeks ago I would have voted, from these choices, L-5C reflecting my excellent L-5 CT Acoustic, Hutchins-era.

But then I happened upon a 2018 Crimson Shop Super 400C Acoustic. No electronics whatsoever, carved to be an acoustic, so that's my new vote now. I'm 6'3", it fills my right arm nicely, has a robust neck from nut to the neck swell, and sounds penetrating and memorable. with workmanship beyond reproach.

Photos if interested.

the L4C is very fine and it's size and weight are part of that. I have a 1959 with a D'Armond pup and it has the richest tone of any of my guitars. Oh....it's a sunburst.

Is that the Blond one I saw at Retrofret i believe no pickguard? It was listed on Reverb if it is the one 2018.
