  1. It is a Gibson LG-0 model. An all mahogany guitar. It is in the LG series that included the Gibson LG-0, the LG-1, the LG-2 and the LG-3. All of the models were considered student guitars when the were originally out. The LG-0 was the lowest price one in the line with its all mahogany body and ladder bracing. The. LG-1 was the next step up one with a solid spruce top, sunburst finish, and mahog sides. It too was ladder braced. The LG-2 and LG-3 were X braced which produced a fuller sound and was the more popular bracing. The LG-2 was spruce topped in sunburst, the LG-3 was natural finish with a solid spruce top and X bracing. There is little demand for the LG-0 in the collector market with it having been the lower line model and all mahogany with ladder. The LG—2 and 3 models have a much higher demand in the collector market. Someone on this forum should be able to decode the serial number and offer more info such as its year. QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff
  2. I have a 2006 CS 1964 J45 sunburst that I bought new from Fullers. I compared mine to an authentic 1965 J45 sunburst and they were really pretty close. The 1965’s neck might have been slightly narrower, but one has to remember back then every neck might have slightly differed due to their hand carving. It was basically the same visually. Mine, of course had a tusk saddle. I later switched the tusk saddle out for a bone saddle and liked it better for a few years. But, by then my guitar had opened up considerably and I put the tusk saddle back in to hear how it sounded. I haven’t removed the tusk saddle now for about 6-7 years and it’s now my preference in it. Mine is a lot louder and fuller sounding than it was when I first purchased it new. These things really do open up. It’s one of my favorite guitars. QM aka “Jazzman Jeff
  3. Beautiful guitar! Congratulations! QM aka “ Jazzman” Jeff
  4. Did you try setting the action on the bridge slightly higher? It may need a bit more tension on the bridge to hold it in firmly in place as a matter of precision. Just a suggestion. QM aka “Jazzman@ Jeff

  7. My 2006 Gibson CS 1964 J45’s bridge started to lift during a gig so was playing at. I had bought the guitar new and took good care of it. This was after owning it about 9 years. I took it to an authorized Gibson Repairperson who agreed I had taken good care of it and he called Gibson and they agreed to fix it under warrantee. They felt they must not have adequately glued the bridge down when they made the guitar. It’s given no problems since and Gibson and their repairman were great about covering the repair under warrantee. Just my experience. QM aka “ Jazzman” Jeff
  8. I have a 2006 Custom Shop 1964 J45 from Fullers bought new. It has no serial number on the inside back or on the neck. But it has a FON on the neck block inside of of the guitar. Fullers had said they had the Custom Shop make it this way. QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff
  9. Murph-Enjoyed the music! QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff
  10. Beautiful guitar! Congrats! QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff
  11. First I defined myself as a fingerpicker, with my right hand technique leasing the way. But, then over the years I became an instrumentalist and while my right hand went on autopilot, just know where to go and what note to hit, my left hand became dominant, knowing what note to hit, what chord and not not hit, what triad to hit, and what made up chord to make up. My right hand instinctively knew what my left hand was doing. 61 years of playing guitar now and it all still keeps amazing me. QM aka “ Jazzman” Jeff

  14. Enjoyed this! QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff
  15. An acoustic guitar amp is really just a mini PA. Though it may have some effects. I don’t see how it can hurt your karaoke machine or guitar, as it sounds like your karaoke machine is also just a mini PA. Let us know how it goes. QM aka “ Jazzman” Jeff
