[LG-0 how old!]

I do not believe I have ever seen a spruce top LG-0 from that late a date.  Those  I have run across dated to the late-1960s.  They are quite a bit harder to find than the standard all-mahogany guitars.

It has a Rosewood bridge, if that helps date it. 

[LG-0 how old!]

Hello, I just acquired a Gibson LG-0 with a spruce top and a rosewood bridge. Weird ugly brownish finish on the mahogany. Wondering how old it is. The guy I bought it from didn't seem to know.  I tried the serial number website, and they said they couldn't find the number. (?!)  the serial number is A005229, 

anybody got any ideas?  I am really liking the instrument.

[Help dating my LG0?]

I just acquires a spruce top rosewood bridge Gibson LG, and the website that tracks serial numbers says they can't find this one.  It is A005229, does anyone have an idea of the year? I was thinking the 60's sometime....

thanks if you respond....
