1965 Gibson LG1 – £2399

NEW ARRIVAL  This 1965 LG1 is a great example of one of the most popular ladder braced Gibsons, with authentic tone that no modern guitar can come close to. Visually it’s just what you’d want from a vintage Gibson, with an unmistakable dark tobacco sunburst, and beautiful tortoise pickguard. Tonally it’s bright and punchy, but with added depth in the bass – the ladder bracing adds quick attack. The guitar’s is in great condition, with no cracks or repairs, just the very common replaced Rosewood bridge (the original would have been plastic). Interestingly, one of the previous owners had their name etched into the back of the headstock. The guitar has a very playable neck – not skinny like later 60’s examples – and comfortable action. It comes in a non original hard case.
