I am interested in this guitar, but there is no model # inside the guitar. The serial is 332486

I see J-50's that have the same bridge and fret markers...but not much else in common...so I would appreciate any help at this point.

thanks in advance,

jay

It looks like an LG-0 to me. Most LG-0s were ALL mahogany but I think some in the late 60s had spruce tops. As with anything Gibson, it's often not cataloged or documented, it just happened and it's up to us to sort out 50 years later. I'm basing most of my assessment on the body size, simple appointments and screwed on pickguard.

Seems right-the year is 1965 according to the "Fabulous Flat-Tops" book.
