Oh my. How did they acquire it? What is known about the tailpiece and bridge since both appear unoriginal?

Covet. A dot-neck L-5 is my ultimate - the apex guitar design, tonally, responsively and aesthetically. Thanks for sharing.

You sound amazing as always. How does it feel vs your sig flattop? The ergonomics of an archtop have been fascinating for me to explore - I like how they can take/prefer a heavy hand, and how the tone changes when picking/strumming up and down the neck - different dynamics vs a flattop.
If you could ever do your stunning renditions of So What or All Blues on that guitar, oy, would I want to hear that!!
