Sun Thursday: SUNBURST Gibson LG-1 Acoustic Guitar!!!

in sunthursday •  7 years ago 

I'm doing this weeks #sunthursday a little differently! How about SUNBURST THURSDAY?!?!

A few weeks ago our good friend Dustin brought over this flippin' awesome Gibson LG-1 Acoustic to play come music with @jessamynorchard!!!!

This thing was amazing looking and sounded even better!!!!

From what he has researched it was made in 1955-1957; as he couldn't verify the serial number!

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. --Source
