Description

Way cool Gibson LG-1 from 1957! This LG-1 model has a spruce top with a beautiful dark sunburst finish, mahogany back and sides, and ladder bracing. Bright punchy sound typical of ladder braced Gibsons. Plays great up and down the neck with low to moderate action. Normal bumps, dings, and play wear, but overall in very good vintage condition. Very little finish checking but some finish rubbing on the back. Top and back binding is beautifully aged and intact. The guitar has a few repairs and replacements. The pickguard has been replaced (or possibly just re-glued). New tuner buttons on the original tuning machines. the G string tuner is slightly bent but fully functional. Nicely refretted at some point and frets are in great shape. An added strap button and one repaired back crack. This is a well cared for but actively played 50’s Gibson acoustic that looks great and has all the mojo you want.
