Jamie from Tyneside UK. Had ‘33 L-30 bought on impulse in the US and recently traded for a ‘66 LG1.
Which I will be asking questions about...
LG1 Bellying
in Gibson Acoustic
Posted
Hi all. First post. I bought a 66 LG1 recently. I knew it had some problems with a slight belly on the top, to be expected with a 52 year old ladder braced guitar.
I have been advised that a bridge truss will fix it but I’m dubious about it as I suspect it might bugger the tone up and the tone is what persuaded me to buy it in spite of the flaws. I ‘ve never been able to work out of a neck reset will fix the problem permanently rather than compensate for the changed angle and has anyone got any thoughts about changing the plastic bridge for a rosewood one? I want to keep it as original as possible but it needs to work too
thoughts and experiences would be appreciated folks
