This 1959 Gibson LG1 is an absolute beauty – it’s difficult not to talk about the look of this guitar before mentioning the sound, It has that wonderful tobacco sunburst that Gibson did so well in the 50’s, with really stunning looking lacquer checking – very eye catching. The guitar’s in good condition, with plenty of playwear so you know it been played enough for the tone to mature over the last 55 years, but clean enough to tell you it’s been well looked after.Tonally, it has a rich sound, lending itself to bluesy fingerpicking, although it’s very versatile, handling strumming very well, and has plenty of bite when soloing. The neck feels great, and the action is comfortable.
