I ordered a Gibson L5 last May in Wine Red and was quoted 4 to 6 months delivery from Gibson.
I emailed Gibson this week and asked them where it was, this was the reply I got.
Dear Mr. Thacker,
Thank you for your interest in Gibson.
There are 2 open orders in the system, but I do not have any insight into the production schedules of the Custom Shop, as these are confidential.
As far as I can check there are no new L-5 CES guitars to be expected from the Custom Shop any time soon; this is normally not more information than the dealer can give you.
L-5 guitars are very special guitars, for which it is not unusual to have to wait one year.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kind regards,
Stijn Vergeest
