I purchased what was called a 1952 LG-3 from a local vintage shop. After further inspection I noticed it was latter braced which would suggest it was an LG-1. However, the top is a natural spruce finish and is identical to all the photos I have seen on google and reverb for that year of an LG-3. At first I thought it was a fake but it checks all the boxes with the serial number format which matches the correct year and other indicators. I have never seen a photo of an LG-1 with a natural finish online. Thoughts on what I have anyone?!?! Thanks!!! I have included photos of the guitar and the latter bracing under the top.
