My Collection
New here and just wanted to say hi. I am not a "collector" but I do have a mini archtop collection. It took me a few years to put it together and I likely will get a nice display case to show them off one day.
1. 1929 L-5 all original except for the pick guard (which was from the 1930s) 2. Benedetto Fratello from the 80's (it's in his book on archtop making) 3. Stella - a Ken Parker Archtop. Once upon a time I was an aspiring jazz guitarist but I also just love the craftsmanship in archtop guitars.

I'm confused by the photos of the L5. Are we talking Gibson L5?
I've never seen a Gibson with segmented f holes and have never seen that headstock on a Gibson either

The OP, T3mp, has not posted a picture of his 29 Gibson L5. SSStewart has posted a picture of an archtop, which is not a Gibson, but is referred to as his 29. Look in his signature. I believe it to be a guitar he made and refers to as his 1929. All of the above is what I deduced from looking at the posts. It could be wrong.

SS STEWART is a brand, at some point built by Harmony and others...
But in the 20's they somehow built or got their name on what I understand to be an early high end guitar > OP had the fancy one built in 1929, and that's the pix Or at least that's my theory
