This 1967 Gibson LG-0 is a unique and historically significant instrument, once owned by the iconic Les Paul. Originally designed as a student model, the LG-0 features a solid mahogany top, back, and sides, paired with ladder bracing—a combination that produces a warm, focused tone with strong midrange character and a dry, woody response. Though modest in appointments, this model’s tonal charm and vintage vibe have made it a favorite among folk, blues, and fingerstyle players.
What sets this particular LG-0 apart is its direct connection to Les Paul, one of the most influential innovators in the history of modern music. Known not only as a virtuoso guitarist but also as a pioneer in multi-track recording and electric guitar design, Les Paul’s association with this instrument elevates it from a humble 1960s Gibson to a true collector’s piece. Whether displayed as a historic artifact or played for its vintage tonal qualities, this LG-0 offers a rare glimpse into the personal collection of a musical legend.
