What a sweet ole girl.

When I was taking guitar lessons in the 1960's, my teacher had a pre-war L5 that he would sometimes let me play. I've never gotten that much pleasure from an instrument since.
-
Seriously beautiful sir!

I've had this one for going on 28 years. The only thing new is the camera.
Gibson L5 Custom Wes Montgomery
That's top shelf, very beautiful guitar. Would love to have one but unfortunately it would not find fulfillment in my hands and it would likely run away to find a more worthy owner.

It sure is. Sadly, it doesn't get much play time since I got this PRS JA-15.

@ST
Does the L5 have a fine & narrow neck like my copy (J6s washburn) ?
it's round on mine but small & perfect for my not so big hands.
These guitars are really fantastic , and their sound is un-matchable I use mine lots , mainly on the neck pickup , but the bridge is super cool for rockabilly , surf & blues.
with some double stops and slide jazzy licks , you really feel like Lee Ritenour or Wes, playing those huge ladies I use mine sit and and reduce the tone pot for this classic jazz tone. A spring verb is welcome ,and go for some warm sounding profiles.

Hi Renaud,
Yes, the neck is narrow. The shape is like this.
-

I'm sure it sounds glorious, but this headstock looks like CNC machine failure

PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo. I have always wanted a piezo and a hollowbody....now I have both....and at a great price! Have not had much time with it yet but so far I'm loving it.

Those who know, know....
And I, despite initial reservations, absolutely love the look of my Tylers' headstocks now. They begin to look glorious when you realise what astoundingly good guitars they are.

Gorgeous. And couldn't agree more.

very nice

NGD - PRS Fiore 'Sugar Moon'.
Quite plain on the net, but much better looking in person. Quite a pale neck compared to some, but looks great imho.
- Love the switching and pickup options.
- Plays great, although I'm not a fan of the strings it came with (so they will go imminently), and it is much brighter than my usual fave Japan Tylers.
- tuners a bit fiddly/not as pleasant as the Tylers.
- has that 'pick me up' vibe!
Very happy - looking for rig recommendations that suit it...

Nice! I have a Silver Sky and have had a hankering to try one of these.

I've been waiting for this day! The KillStratTM! My new number one and it will light you up more ways than one.! I've got a whole list of mods done on this. Next time I restring it I will paint the headstock white to match and redo the logos minus the Adrian Smith.
Main mods are Seymour Duncan Custom trembucker and coil split toggle, Tesi Kill Switch (lights up only when plugged in), stereo jack, 7oz brass trem block, and other items including noiseless springs and stainless FR screws. A lot of work went into routing the body cavities for the kill switch, rear battery box, and rear neck truss access. Original weight was 7lbs-15oz. New weight is 8lbs-5oz.
I'm very proud how it turned out. I just want to play it now and never let go.

Great, it's beautiful.
Why a stereo jack?

Why a stereo jack?
The mono part of the jack works like normal to connect the electronics. The stereo part of the jack connects the negative to the battery to power the LED in the kill switch. So the battery is never in use until a cable is plugged in. If I don't want the LED to come on at all then I simply remove the battery. The kill switch works lighted or unlighted. Stereo jacks are used in active pickup equipped guitars and wired up the same way so the battery doesn't drain when the guitar is unplugged.

Very cool!
