About This Listing

1956 Gibson LG-1


This is an awesome vintage acoustic that we just got back from our luthier. It had it's pickguard repaired, pickguard reglued, repaired top cracks, bridge reglued, bridge plate repaired, tuner buttons replaced, frets crowned and polished, and was restrung. This guitar plays great and sounds fantastic with a very balanced tone that has some really pleasant warmth in the low end and articulates well without sounding brittle. This could be an excellent vintage acoustic for anyone looking to get something with it's fair share of cosmetic wear that still plays and sounds like a guitar half it's age. Get it while it lasts!

Product Overview
During World War II, Gibson pared its flat-tops down to six standard models, the Gibson LG-1 acoustic guitar among them. As a student model, the LG-1 was introduced alongside the LG-2 and LG-3 to be a less expensive model that even younger players could afford. Because it was initially intended to be a lower-end guitar, the LG-1 uses ladder-style bracing and is made of a mahogany back with a spruce top.
