Gibson LG-1 1965 Transitional 1 5/8" Nut w/ Case
Description
No sales tax for US customers outside California.
This 1965 LG-1 showed up with great looks and potential, but the original plastic bridge was just not going to work. Outfitted with a new, rosewood bridge, it now plays and sounds just right.
The guitar shows some wear and dings, but overall it is in excellent condition with strong, cool looking color to the sunburst and no cracks. The frets are in excellent shape. The neck is straight, and there is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustment. The action is perfect up and down the neck.
In 1965, Gibson changed the nut width from the original 1 11/16", to 1 5/8", then to 1 11/16. This guitar falls in the middle.
The original case is included.
As with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally set up to play its absolute best.
We buy, sell, and take trades.
