1948 Gibson LG3

SOLD  The LG3 is the natural topped version of an LG2, like the J50 is to the J45. It was made from 1942 – 1962, and is possibly the most desirable small bodied post war Gibson model available. It’s a 00 size guitar with X bracing, making the guitar extremely resonant – a surprisingly big sound for a small bodied guitar. It’s getting difficult to find 40’s examples. The most obvious difference with 40’s LG3’s is the neck – it’s fuller feeling – meaning it carries richer tone and greater sustain. The guitar is in great condition, and the honey coloured top contrasts beautifully with the stunning pickguard. Tonally it’s one of those guitars that just makes you want to play and play, reminiscent of so many old blues and folk recordings. The tone, feel and playability are excellent, making it a highly desirable example. The guitar comes in a non original vintage hard case.
