Love that sweet. woody tone you're getting - those single-pickup full-bodies were many an in-the-trenches player's secret weapon in the '50s, offering acoustic capability (more so with a carved top like yours) with plugged-in versatility...
Just curious about the neck dimensions; FWIW I had the pleasure/privilege of playing Wes' personal L-5 when MandoBros was handling the sale back in the early-2K's - definitely on the narrower side (my long-time preference, BTW), and although I know later production moved to a thicker profile I'm wondering if the earlier runs conformed to Wes' original specifications...
