Dave F Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 There's a nice looking L5S on our Trading Post. Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, so you may see it on another forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC58 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great looking guitar. I remember when these first came out. Typical in many ways of Norlin era Gibbys in the 70's..( I'm assuming this is from that original era) The thin, lighter-weight body was a nice break from the usual 10 lb (or more..!!!) LP Standards/Deluxe/Customs from that time period ( although I know these easily pushed the 9 lb threshold) Nicely decorated, decent tops, thin/flat necks and a TP-6 Fine Tune tail piece. I don't know what price this is at, but if you like it, can afford and are happy with the price, then go for it. The ironic thing is, it will sound nothing like an L-5. If I remember correctly, it more of a Les Paul-but-thinner-sound. But again, as I have written in other posts, forget what we all think. If it speaks to you, then you're 99% of the way home. This is basically a non-chambered, closed top CS-356, in many ways..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
