Gibson L5S

I'm sure that the RW L5s is a nice guitar but it is very "dumbed down" compared to the original L5s.

 

Examples - Look at the Binding in the Cutaway.

 

The neck and headstock are LP Custom.

 

Without the L5 Logo in the Headstock how can they call it an L5?

 

On the positive side I think that the Fingerboard inlays are an improvement on the Abalone on my original L5s.

 

The neck on the original is cold and heavy - I wonder if the RW is any better?

Here's a track I recorded yesterday with the L5s. There are two tracks of clean electric guitar that I used the L5s on, one finger-picked rhythm, and the other is some steel guitar like bends. The flat-picked acoustic guitar rhythm is a Martin HD28, and the slide guitar is a 2014 Historic 1957 Goldtop Reissue. The amp is a "DIRTY GIRL REVERB".
