Hi guys, I'm new here and this is my first post. My wife and I run a website dedicated to the prewar Gibson L-5:
www.prewargibsonl-5.com. The site has been 'live' for about a month and contains lots of information on the model as well as picture galleries of both the original 16-inch version and the later 17-inch 'Advanced' L-5. I know the L-5 isn't exactly Gypsy Jazz but lots of Django fans - like myself - also enjoy the playing of Eddie Lang, 'Snoozer Quinn' and other players for whom the L-5 was the guitar of choice. I hope you enjoy the site and if you are lucky enough to own a prewar L-5 please get in touch (you can do this through the site) as we would love to feature your guitar!
