Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 8.15 lbs.
Wonderful L-5 style! This thing is full of refined power. EQing a classic jazz tone and pushing the volume wide open is downright thrilling. Chord-melody work and lead playing couldn't sound more at home. And for the price? There's just nothing that comes anywhere near this--good luck finding anything that comes close for less than quadruple the cost.
Condition: Used, Good - Significant play wear and scratching
