Here's an L5 you don't see every day. Not sure what to think of it. The pickguard def. has to go! :-)

I can see no difference from the Lee Rit model except for the color.
-
Yeah. Looking at it, I can understand why this model# is “rare.” Definitely not the best look for a L5. The six finger tension tailpiece is a monstrosity also.

-
The add says it appears to be a Lee Ritenour model in all but name. A limited run/one off from the Gibson Crimson Team.
-
Also-at first I never noticed the finger tail piece; I'm so used to seeing them on Heritage guitars that it slipped right by. Whooosh! :-)

If I had the extra money I'd get one of the custom luthiers such as Holst, Campellone, Baker etc to try and build me a 15 "L5". Wonder if they would sound the same? Something tells me no. ( I've always had trouble with 17" guitars given my small hands.)

/methinks the L5 really has become the Golf of the guitar world - there are so many different variations that are usually so far from the original that one wonders why Gibson still have other model names in their catalog!
I dig the colour though. Gives it an Eastman vibe with a less awkward headstock

I haven't posted this in at least a couple of days.
Here's five more of them:

Well at least 3 out of 5 of those you posted look ok.
-
And remember boys, thems Canuck $$$. $7,650 greenbacks seems like a decent price for any kind of L5 these days.
-
I seem to remember seeing that Trogly guy unboxing a full-size version of this.
