mking Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Does anyone know if any of the new guitar builders make guitars with the same body/style as the LG-00, LG-1 or LG-2? I see a lot of builders making OM,OO,OOO guitars, but the closest thing I've seen to an LG is the Collings C10 which I think is modeled after the LG-00. Thoughts, comments or suggestions? Thanks.

J-1854Me Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Gibson themselves will build you an LG guitar. They have produced a number of them over the last number of years. I had the opportunity to play a very nice, fairly recent "LG-1" just over a month ago at Folkways Music in Ontario. It was a 2006 model, so only a few years old, at most, with a solid top, and a lovely sunburst finish, and was very comfortable to play and sound nice to boot! Gibson's Bozeman plant initially made some LG re-issues for the Japanese market, and offered some overruns to various US dealers. From time to time, I understand that they have made small batches of these. So, if you want an LG clone, you have the option of getting one directly from Gibson.

mking Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 I saw this guitar that was for sale at Folkways. It was labeled an LG-1 but had the X bracing. I just haven't seen any more of these on the market. Thanks for the note back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
