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!!

the bridge and tailpiece are original.
until the Joe Spann book came out and serial numbers/specs were reassesed it was thought that they went to block inlays in '29 but it's really around
'32 that they changed
