  1. I would have loved an L-5 as it is THE electric guitar. But I started on electric guitar, I never felt big body guitars comfortable. Somehow I like the L-5S in all it's incarnations from the 70's. But I think, Heritage has the better body design with their Millenium model. Nowadays, a regular L-5 seems like a relict of yesteryears. I can't imagine even pro jazz players being able to afford an L-5, though I think players of jazz boxes don't collect as many guitars as the solidbody players do, unless they're filthy rich. A new designed L-5S with a regular L-5 neck, slightly bigger Les Paul body (about 105-110% ), but venetian cutaway, all maple design, maybe with weight relief or even semi hollow with f-holes, but all features of the L-5, including the L-5 tailpiece, applied here also. Optional ebony bridge, Schaller M6 locking tuning keys. pickup toggle switch in the lower cutaway, like on the L-5. If Gibson could do it for under 5 grand, I might be in
