AlanC Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Here are my L5's. 1953 L5CES, 1963 L5C (with original Johnny Smith p/u) and 2008 L5CES Keith They look great. The '53 looks mint. It's just gorgeous. And what can I say - I want the '63 !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingpickup Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thanks AlanC. The '53 was my father's guitar since new. He played it a lot, but he really looked after it and it's still in great shape. I inherited it a few years ago. The '63 was also a one-owner local guitar that I purchased from the original owner. He was a pro player, but he mostly used electric guitars on gigs, so this one wasn't used that much and is in excellent condition. I am very fortunate to have these two.

Luv the Super 400 but all look great. Have you still got the '63 L5CT? I own 2 CT's both are new ones but I personally prefer playing the CT to the full bodied guitar cos of the comfort factor. It just feels snug and the sound is still awesome. For me L series guitars give you so much guitar. It's hard to explain but once you play them it feels like you are finally home.

JimR56 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thanks Alan. Yes, I still have the two L5's. I agree with what you say about the CT's. Mine sounds every bit as full as a regular L5. In terms of playability, I can't even describe how comfortable my '63 is. I got it in 1990, and it had already been played heavily and dinged and scratched, but it practically plays itself. It may be the only guitar I've ever owned that I knew I could never part with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sleeko, that's a stunner. To me, even if they're calling that "wine red", the color looks pretty close to a traditional cherry red (but I still tend to associate the term "wine red" with those very dark red finishes from the '70's).
