1951 Gibson LG-1 Sunburst
1951 Gibson LG-1
The unique sound of these ladder braced LG’s cannot be matched. It is the perfect instrument for vocal accompaniment or easy finger picking. The comfortable size and ample projection make them both comfortable and practical. The vintage mahogany back and sides on this wonderful guitar are perfectly broken in and project as only vintage wood can. The top is beautiful Gibson sunburst spruce (albeit with a nick here or there from 70 years of honest play). Neck is straight and action is very comfortable. Frets are in very good shape. She’s been fully inspected and put into top playing condition. The original bridge was reglued to ensure security. As mentioned, the finish has a tad bit of wear, but nothing that most of these older guitars don’t show. We just consider it authentic mojo. And this gal has it! What you have in this guitar is an early 50’s Gibson in all original condition that plays like a dream. Comes in original case.

We make every effort to provide you honest information about the instrument you purchase. However, every flaw, scratch or ding may not be photographed or noticed on every instrument. By the nature of what we are collecting and selling, virtually all vintage instruments will have dings, scratches, and various other imperfections that come with age and use. We call it character. That's why we love them. Please carefully look at photographs and contact us if you require additional information. Please note that every instrument has been inspected and set up by our luthier for playability and appearance. But, your instrument may still require additional set up by you to make it exactly what is most comfortable and acceptable to you.

Should a return be required due to damage incurred in route, we must be notified within 48 hours. Please note that all other returns are at the recipients expense. Contact us to authorize and assist you in either case so that we can minimize cost and ensure the safe return of the instrument.
