Description
Gibson LG-1 1957 Acoustic Guitar – a true gem both visually and tonally, it embodies everything that makes vintage Gibsons so special.
The first thing that catches the eye is its stunning tobacco sunburst finish, a hallmark of Gibson’s 1950s craftsmanship. The deep, rich burst seamlessly fades into a warm amber center, giving the top a luminous glow that highlights the natural beauty of the wood. Complemented by a classic tortoiseshell pickguard, this guitar exudes vintage charm.
In terms of condition, this Gibson LG-1 has aged beautifully. It bears just the right amount of honest playwear—enough to reveal a life filled with music, yet well-preserved, a testament to the care it has received over the past 68 years. A small, professionally repaired crack near the pickguard is the only notable blemish. The tuners remain original, while the knobs have been replaced. The neck is perfectly straight, the frets are in excellent shape, and the action is comfortably low (2.4 mm on the E string, 1.8 mm on the e string), with plenty of saddle left for future adjustments—ensuring effortless playability for years to come.
Tonally, this Gibson LG-1 1957 is an absolute delight. It delivers a warm, rich sound that is especially well-suited for bluesy fingerpicking, yet remains versatile enough for strumming and soloing. It has a crisp attack, great projection, and that unmistakable vintage Gibson character—woody, resonant, and full of soul. The neck profile is exceptionally comfortable, and with its smooth, low action, this guitar plays like a dream.
This LG-1 comes with a non-original hardshell case for safe keeping. A wonderful instrument with character, history, and a sound that will inspire every time you pick it up.
