ksdaddy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Basically an LG0 with no binding at all and a narrow Melody Maker style headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 As KSDaddy describes. Looks like adjustable rosewood saddle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 1966 is a deal breaker for me. Not because of the ADJ bridge but the combination of the skinny neck and narrow nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah was thinking it had a skinny lookin neck from the pics. The headstock isn't exactly a thing of beauty either. Think I'll pass. Cheers fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers fellas Luck of the draw stuff, I have read - never played one. I have the 50s LG0 where they were still loving them, and it is a beauty - 50s fat neck - pic on right: BluesKing777.

zombywoof Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Interesting that Gibson screwed the black pickguards down on LG-0s made during the second half of the 1950s. How thick are those pickguards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Here's the one in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It comes down to the almighty dollar. People are asking STUPID money for LG0s and if enough people ask big money then the rest of the world is convinced they're worth it. So the B15s are following suit. As far as I'm concerned, that's a $200 guitar. On a good day. People are crazy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
