I got a chance to play one of these

this weekend.

Holy Cow!

This is a top notch guitar, easily the equivilant of models costing 2 or 3x as much.

I know this is definitely not in everyone's price range, but it has made me seriously consider not continuing to save up for a vintage L-5.

Gibsons in this price range are still laminate backs and sides. This is all real wood . . . and if you play them side-by-side you can hear the difference unplugged and plugged.

Seriously worth consideration if you're looking for a new top-end archtop.
