Default Bottleneck>52 Gibson LG1>Tonedexter>Boss VE-8

I was watching a video about ladder braced guitars, so I grabbed my 1952 Gibson LG1 and my bottleneck, plugged in to my Tonedexter with the soundfile I made and ran that out to my Boss VE8 for a splash of reverb/delay:

Thanks for the replies!


It is tuned to Open D, Doug.

(I better check that later as I sometimes tune down further, but it would be the same string relationship as Open D.)

Thanks Glenn!

I should have mentioned that I have owned the guitar for a few years and it sure isn't pretty...sounds good though. It came by air mail in a case way too big from an Ebay buy. It had been resurrected, perhaps literally. Cracks, splits, neck set needed, frets awful. But I loved the ladder braced sound even though it was really hard to play in standard, so one day I put it in Open D tuning and wow! Still there! Martin Thinline undersaddle pickup.....
