1956 Gibson LG 3/4 size acoustic. In great playing condition with a fresh neck set, crack repair, and bridge reglue from Tyler Geske, the original tuners were also replaced with in-line Klusons. This guitar is ideal for small hands, but still comfy for people with larger hands with a super comfortable and accessible neck! Sounds fantastic producing a dry-woody tone with excellent acoustic resonance and sonic qualities. In great overall shape with normal playwear, pick scratches, and light body dings. A killer vintage student-model Gibson! Includes original chip case.

"Well into my adult years now, I still feel a sharp impulse to jump onto a coin-operated horse every time I see one out in front of a grocery store. If you can relate to this, I would guess you’d have a hard time walking past this trio without snatching one up.


Looking like one hell of a mid century Christmas morning, this collection is a scaled down summary of Gibson’s guitar offerings at the time. For the young gospel singer, an LG 3/4. The aspiring jazz cat is more than covered with a 3/4 ES-125. Feel the need to rebel against your parents while perforating your own ear drums? The 3/4 Les Paul Special will infuriate 4/4 of your closest neighbors. The 22.75” scale may sound too short for some, but reasonably wide necks and full-size hardware make these “student” instruments feel equally at home on the couch with a full sized human. What a perfect opportunity to pick up another vintage Gibson under the guise of providing your kids with a musical education." - Tyler Geske
