rar Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 2006 custom shop LG-1 There was a smallish run of these' date=' originally intended for the Japanese market. If it matters to you, they should have been called LG-2s, because they're X-braced.

Hoyt Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 How do the guitars for overseas markets compare to those for USA market? Any real difference, other than the label seems to be missing. In the past 6 months I've played two LG-2s that were supposedly slated for the overseas market. I keep getting the hankering to go back and get one if they are still there.

jt Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If it matters to you' date=' they should have been called LG-2s, because they're X-braced.[/quote'] Actually, in its first year of existence, the LG-1 was X-braced. After a long hiatus, the LG-1 returned post WWII with ladder bracing. Here's my X-braced, 1942 LG-1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rar Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Musician's Friend had a run of these last year under the "Gibson Icon" banner. AFAICT' date=' these could have been from the batch that didn't go to Japan. I recall looking at them on the MF website and they appeared to be identical.

(Although, since the 2006 run was supposedly based on the late '50s LG-1, that doesn't really give 'em an excuse for getting it wrong.) Thanks for the info, John! -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr newhaven Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 i am from CT where the shop is that ES-335 found that LG-1 if you are in the area...go to youngblood's workshop...that man has a SERIOUS collection of hard to find acoustics! and he is very knowledgeable...when i went there a couple of months ago...he had a couple of really expensive guitars...(like $20,000+) that he was doing work on...his waiting list is absurd...like at least 3-5 months...but from what i hear he is worth it!
