Description

Gibson's LG guitars are known for their comfortable size and versatility, and this ladder-braced LG-1 from 1963 is no exception. It delivers a focused midrange punch that makes it perfect for recording, while the 1 11/16" nut width and very comfortable neck shape ensure it feels great in your hands.

Crafted with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and Honduran mahogany back, sides, and neck, this guitar hails from a golden era of acoustic guitar craftsmanship. Minimal but thoughtful repairs include an added strap pin at the heel, repaired bridge cracks, a re-glued bridge, and a filled and re-drilled original bridge plate, ensuring it’s structurally sound while maintaining its vintage vibe.

Overall, it’s a remarkably clean example for its age, offering that iconic Gibson tone we all know and love. It comes with a non-original hardshell case, ready to accompany you on your musical journey.
