PrairieDog Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) On our way back from the 1st day of the Great Minnesota Get Together, we stopped in a store we don’t get to very often… And here, a fine little all Mahogany 1964 LG-0 followed us home (And see? it doesn’t always have to be about the bling for me 😁) Edited August 22 by PrairieDog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docr Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Congratulations on your new acquisition! I find the mounting of the pickguard with screws interesting. Are there nuts on the back or do they simply hold in the thin wood of the top? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I still miss my '64 LG1. Plastic bridge and all. Congrats - this sweetie will be unlike any of your others - in a very good way ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Cool! As I am still in my self-imposed guitar exile, I live vicariously through others. So, keep the NGDs a coming. In 60 + years now, I have only one two all-mahogany guitars with the only one remaining being a 1942 Harmony H165 which at the time was oddly marketed as a Stella. I just could not resist the Figure 8 Grand Concert size body and old-style Oscar Schmidt logo on the headstock. But Lawdy, it does hold its own against any of my spruce top instruments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t reach all of them to feel until I get the strings off, but the top one for sure probably goes through into brace. There is also brace near where the lower two are as well. I just can get around behind it to make sure they are not popping through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ll take it as a well-intended play on Dan’s comment, and not a swipe on my apparently chronic case of GAS 😁 At first I looked to see if our local whistle-pig had photobombed 😆 Re being modest and not saying much, nod, it is a very unassuming little guitar. I’m gonna nickname it “Silent Cal.” It doesn’t have much voice, and it sure doesn’t shout. But when it speaks, it is with the gravitas of 60 years experience. Thanks for the congrats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing my part, Woof! And I know exactly what you mean, we have a 38ish G6# Cromwell Arch Top (built by Gibson) that has terrific voice.

PrairieDog Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 (edited) Chuckle, little serendiptious follow-up. We had only picked it up because heck, it was nice, inexpensive, but decent sounding 1960s Gibson. However, before we got our attention stolen a few months ago by Hummingbirds and ES Supreme surf guitars, we had been on the prowl for an all hog small body for my wife. After working with it last night, my wife discovers this little fellow is just what she had been looking for! It’s an astonishingly close match for the warm, dry tone of her blues teacher’s 1930s concert-sized Martin, which started the search in the first place. She is happy as a clam 😄 Edited August 24 by PrairieDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Yeah, the lines for SMC are insane. My cardiologist requires I forbear these days, but I still put my foot down and got my black walnut taffy from the place by the food building with the little automaton man that turns the taffy puller. My family has been hitting up that place for gosh, it might be 100 years now. Since they opened in the 20s.
