Been watching some of the archtops in today's Gardiner Houlgate auction.

The 1939 Gibson L5 premiere with CC pickup went for 7200 GBP...

I wasn't looking to buy as I've recently got an L5CES! But I actually hadn't seen the 1930s L7 when I went through the listings!
If I'd registered to bid I may have gone for it. Was £1650 plus 25% a good price?

Havnt seen that gtr, depends on its condition, but in general, that would/could have been attractive if I was in for an all solid acoustic Archtop.
