egoidealmusic Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023  Cool history and a fantastic guitar. Wish I knew what it sold for so I can stop feeling bad about it. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Very informative. I think 1:05 may had added a nick to the Nick. I have a newer NL 12 fret RW that I like a lot. I like his thinking on older guitars. When I first started getting into vintage guitars, I didn't worry if a neck reset was needed. I've since changed my mind. I think they lose something in the repair. I'm probably just impatient. I have a '42 LG1 that's never had the neck off, and it doesn't need to.

jt Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It's always good to hear from my good buddy, Mark Stutman. I have a Nick Lucas of the same vintage. It's a fine as acoustic steel string guitars get. Â 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 While it might be blasphemy, if intending to buy at least a newish guitar, I would be casting my net wider and looking at instruments such as a Fairbanks F20.  Those with the gold sparkle finish appear particularly yummy.

I passed on a banner lg2 where the bridge had been shaved down thin to avoid a neck reset and it all just seemed silly. rest assured im still kicking myself (it was priced quite well compared to today) but i would have had that thing in two pieces pronto!
