This Gibson LG-3 1953, Natural has a comfortable, well-played-in feel and the seasoned character you expect from a vintage Gibson. The neck feels broken-in and familiar in the hand, with noticeable playing wear, especially in the first position. Tonally, it delivers a warm, woody, dry vintage sound with a balanced response, strong fundamentals, and impressive projection for its size. It responds beautifully to a light touch while offering a punchy, articulate voice when played more aggressively, making it a versatile instrument for fingerstyle, blues, country, and traditional acoustic playing. Overall, this LG-3 has the relaxed feel, natural responsiveness, and open, mature voice that make a well-played vintage Gibson so desirable.For list of repairs refer to specs tabComes with HSC Top: Spruce Back and Sides: Mahogany Neck/Fingerboard: Mahogany/Brazilian rosewood Bridge Material: Brazilian Rosewood Tuners: 3 on a plate Radius: 12" Neck Profile: C Neck Depth: 1st fret-0.895" 9th fret-0.981" Scale Length: 24.75" Nut Width: 1.700" String Spacing at Saddle: 2.130" Contains Brazilian Rosewood (Y/N): Y Electronics: N Case: HSC Modifications/Repairs: Previously, Refretted, Tuners replaced, bridge plate plugs, replaced saddle, Back center seam brace replaced.
