    Romaine, this one is not the legendary 16” L-5, but close…a 1925 L-3…

    It has that classic twenties Gibson look and the price seems reasonable…

    i suspect a decent L-5 would be at least ten times this price…

    Good luck!

    Ok maybe I was wrong, here’s a real 16” L5 for about 10K Canadian…

    That's a reissue from '95 Will.

    The real vintage that Romain is looking for is considerably more, like this one. But that seems to be their going price.
