I expect to wear this guitar out, then step up to a L-5 CES, if there is a great difference in sound and playability between the two. Yes I would replace it if it were lost or stolen.
Sound
very warm and mellow sound, just what I was looking for in a Jazz guitar!
Features
I feel the materials, parts and components are top notch, excellend
Quality
Very well made. No setup was required...It was perfectly set up at the custom shop. No fret buzz, and action was perfect, not too high, not to low, just right.
Value
I would say yes. However, I can't figure out why the L-5 CES is $4,000 more. It appears to be almost like the L-4, except that the toggle switch is on the bottom of the guitar instead of the top like the L-4 and the L-4 is a florintine cutaway as opposed to a rounded cut like on the L-5.
Manufacturer Support
Very friendly, helpful and easy to reach.
The Wow Factor
