Leonard McCoy Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Thinking about picking one up. A blonde one (antique natural finish) is available here but I'm really unsure about the color. The top looks superb, very evenly grained. Vintage sunburst is a much safer bet since I am into that color scheme, but I'm not sure I can get one here (as a lefty) in the foreseeable future.

j45nick Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well, I'd call it an LG-3, but that's just me. It looks like a really good guitar. Because lefty versions are pretty rare, you could be waiting for a long time to find another in sunburst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that Gibson's vintage sunburst is insanely good-looking on those slope-shoulder models. I've inquired with the dealer who in turn gets in touch with Gibson how long the waiting time would turn out to be. I would probably not be unhappy with antique natural either (I do prefer J-200s in that color). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard McCoy Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) It's as difficult as always for any retailer outside the US to get ahold of Gibson re: availability (they are extremely busy), but we'll get there eventually. I'd love to have at least one guitar more permanently tuned to Open E. Edited May 23, 2021 by Leonard McCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard McCoy Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 In hindsight I really should have picked this one up. I badly need a guitar now to keep around in standard tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
