1965 Gibson LG-0

Here’s a 1965 Gibson LG-0 that came in for its bridge replacement.  It happens to all of them, eventually.  Read the page from the great textbook “Gibson’s Fabulous Flat-top Guitars” for further information.

We were able to remove the “Edsel,” strengthen the bridge plate by adding a 3mm thick slab of maple and affix an adjustable aftermarket rosewood bridge.

While we were at it, the player chose a new hand-carved nut and saddle to go along with the Legendary Southeast Setup.  We also repaired some damage to the bass side sheet.

This “$85.00 (1960’s pricing) Gibson” is ready for another half century of making music!

Thanks, Ken, for letting us care for this beauty.
