Lawrenmark Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I’ve been looking for a single-pickup Gibson L5 Signature with a 15 1/2” body and hope to find one. I’ve seen the Lee Ritenour version for sale, which is essentially the same guitar but with a floating pickup and Ritenour’s name on it. I’m holding off until I can find the single humbucker version. I’d even consider trading my 1996 highly flamed beautiful top natural Wes Montgomery in absolute mint condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 From doing a Search it appears L-5’s came in many different iterations over the years. Different shapes, Pickup, Control combinations. Cutaway and non Cutaway. Which are you liking? An old friend of mine had one. He played lots of styles. But, mostly Jazz & Western Swing on that Guitar. It was a beauty. I don’t know much about them but did like the one he had. Good luck, I hope you find the right one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
