What We Think

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
