C-RAM Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 That looks good enough to eat! I tend to critique the human factor on sunburst finishes, but that one is meticulously applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Natural Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Well, a few weeks ago anyway... I've wanted one of these for years and I finally found one that I couldn't resist, so I just had to buy it! The seller is a GREAT guy and these are the pictures he took (apologies that I'm posting so many, but if it's any consolation, I'm not posting them all: That is an incredibly beautiful guitar. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ippon Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Congratulations! I don't think you can post too many pictures of such a beautiful instrument. Want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittney Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hello! I see a lot of you guys know a ton about L5's. Can anyone tell me more about this one? I am trying to help guitarist Jimmy Stewart's wife post it for sale. I would greatly appreciate any knowledge I can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliviergiraud Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I feel very privileged to own one of these Crimson series L-5s. It feels, plays and sounds great. I am wondering about the height of the bridge though, mine seems pretty high up from the wooden saddle. Does neck adjustment affect that at all? I am thinking I should take it in for a truss rod adjustment, not sure... Like I said, it plays great and the action is fairly low. Thanks for your input!

jdgm Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Yes that is a little high but I don't think a truss rod adjustment would improve it things much. OTOH a good setup is usually worth paying for. Beautiful guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it plays great you likely dont need a setup. There are many vids about relief. This is one I found which is very informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, now I'm starting to feel that I just thoughtlessly highjacked this Wes Montgomery L-5 discussion with my own unrelated concern. Maybe I should move this to a new discussion or at least a better suited one. My apologies, I'm new to this blog thing! Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
