WOW is right.
Not something you see every day- a '29 L5 in cherry. Not original factory (obviously), but factory refinned in the 60's:

Hi CC, thanks for the welcome. This should be fun (I post on a few other guitar forums, but some of them are pretty slow at times).
The '63 L5CT, aka "George Gobel" model (modified with two humbuckers) is mine. The L5CT/Gobel with the Charlie Christian pickup is not mine (unfortunately), and the L5CES sold by Skinners is not mine. The only guitars of mine that I posted photos of here are the L5CT and the Epi Sheraton.
A few more views of my L5CT:
You've been a guitar enthusiast for a long time- have you ever come across any other rare red Gibsons from the Golden Era? Super 400's? L5's? Johnny Smith's? I know there are more out there somewhere, waiting to be rediscovered (those ones in the Tsumura book always made me dream about finding something similar).
