This one's been played a bunch and isn't squeaky-clean, but it does feel loved. It sounds like it ought to and even through my very tweed-y-sounding amp, you can hear a bit of the jazzy tones it's able to dish out. It's all-ply in the body, fully-hollow, equipped with two retro-but-mellow humbuckers, has a long 25 1/2" scale length, and a slim, quick neck that's very late-'60s Gibson but without the super-narrow nut. When comparing the serial number to others glimpsed online, it seems to suggest a 1990 date. How about them big apples? This same basic L-5 copy guitar can be found on various brands in the '80s and early '90s - Hondo, Vantage, and Washburn are some - and this one bears the name of the actual factory that built it in Korea.
