BluesKing777 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 A small video of me playing a few slide riffs on my 1952 Gibson LG1, just back from getting a new bridge ad bone saddle, as mentioned in other thread. It ain't pretty, but it has the sound for bottleneck open D [tongue] [tongue] !: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mep8yoYTtEY BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 BK7, you could call that "The Doppelganger Blues" ! Seriously - that was great. amazing! Enjoyed it immensely. I had a '64 LG1 that was good - but your '52 is outstanding. Of course, being a great player does bring out the best in guitars. Thanks for this. Now, I'm inspired - bordering on gasseousness. Maybe I should practice and not think another guitar will make me a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks for the replies! I forgot to mention the lovely old woody smell of the guitar wafting up to me as I play....very intoxicating cigar box \ old wardrobe \ chest of drawers smell. Cool that it sounds great too! I don't know how they get the Gibson sound in the ladder braced guitar, but.... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I am not sure why this sounds so good now - bone saddle? ebony bridge? ramped bridge? set-up? new strings? No, not the new strings, because I have been busy wearing them out! Having trouble putting the guitar down, it sounds so good and growly! I am a touch sick of Open D, but....I am NOT touching a thing yet - it can stay in Open D til the strings break. So advice to LG1 owners - change that silly plastic bit and get it set up properly.

Gasman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great Sounding Guitar! The LG's are some of my favorite Gibson's. Nice playing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
