Vintage 1966 Gibson LG - 1 LG1 Acoustic Guitar
Item History & Price
For sale: 1966 Gibson LG-1 acoustic guitar. S/N: 433520, shipped from Kalamazoo factory on 4/21/66.
Tobacco sunburst finish has checkering all over, with nicks and dings as you would expect from a 53 year old guitar. Sounds fantastic and holds tune!
Overall condition is good for 53+ years. Specifics below:
General crackling on body. No cracks. The bridge was replaced and adjusted about1/8" for intonation concerns by a professional lut...hier in Charleston, SC. There are some generous pick marks above and below the acoustic hole. Original pick guard. The neck is straight with good action. There is a mark on the upper corner of headstock. The tuners all work but the A and D string are stiff... might need some lube? They all tune but the A and D get a little stiff when tension on them. Guitar stays in tune. The s/n is there but faded. The back is in good shape for its age but does show many marks and buckle rash.
I will include the original bridge and an extra set of tuning pegs. I am also including the original chipboard case but it is in very poor condition. It will hold the guitar but is in rough shape.
I tried to take as many pictures as possible. If you would like more info, please let me know. But please look at pictures carefully as what you see is what you get.
