Gibson / LG-1 / 1953 / Sunburst / Guitar
Absolutely stunning vintage Gibson LG-1 from 1953, in beautiful tobacco sunburst finish, FON number starts with Y, in excellent condition. The graceful teardrop shaped pickguard and 19 frets are telltale marks of a pre '55 model . After 1955, the pickguard is larger and pointed and there is 1 fret more (20 frets).
This is the best preserved LG-1 from the early 1950ies, we have encountered so far.

There's just the right amount of play ware on the top.
