1966 Gibson LG-O **sold**
1966 Gibson LGO. Now $x,xxx plus shipping. this is a must sell for me and I think the time is right to let it go. Please consider this "old wood" probably built before many of the members here were born.
Comments: Remarkable condition for 57 year old Gibson guitar. Folks this is old wood here and it sounds like it should. Dry and very alive. IMO this guitar makes a great songwriting instrument. The stark dry tonality does not distract from vocal, thus making it great for writing songs. Plus, it's easy to hold on to and has enough presence to really project. The Story: PM me for details on how this guitar came to me for sale. Specs: The guitar is all mahogany top, sides, and back. Is believed to have Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Neck width is 1 5/8” but the chunky round profile gives a solid feel in the hands. Ladder braced back and soundboard with the adjustable bridge that is held down with screws but also glued down. 24 3/4 inch scale. Original case included but may need a better case for shipping. Serial number: 840945 Mods: When I got the guitar in early February it needed a few minor repairs. It needed a good cleaning but also the bridge was starting to lift and had developed two small (inch long) cracks in the top at the lower bout. I had the bridge reguled and the cracks repaired but it also needed new tuners since the original plastic knobs were starting to deteriorate. The repairman recommended period-era vintage replacements so that was done as well. Original tuners will be included in the sale. The guitar was checked for loose braces and nothing was found needing work. Sound: It definitely has that Gibson sound, warmth and perfect for blues. Playability: It really plays remarkable well. The neck is straight with just the right amount of relief. I was able to play any place on the neck without buzzing and without undo stress on my left hand (see video demo). Condition: I really am impressed with the condition of this guitars compared to anything else I’ve seen from this era. It truly is a collector’s item as well as a viable performance/recording instrument. Note: Guitar was kept in the Chicago area it's entire life, hence subject to weather conditions of the midwest.

Thanks MBee! It really is remarkable in that the guitar was probably played for a few hours before just letting it sit for all of 57 years! The frets are like new and the setup is perfect. I wish I could do some bluesy stuff to give to show how it could really shine. Maybe I will get some time and work something up for another post.
Note strings in the pics are your standard phos/broz or just bronze strings (not sure what the shop put on). For the video I am using Martin Retro lights (nickel Monels). I think those strings work best and take some edge off the sound.
