Gibson LG-0 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1958), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # T-6337-30, natural finish, mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, original brown alligator grain chipboard case.
The LG-0 was Gibson's least expensive flat top, introduced in 1958 to accommodate the swelling legions of beginning guitarists. This first-year model features simple all mahogany construction, with tortoise celluloid binding on the ladder braced solid mahogany top; early models like this still feature the traditional rosewood bridge. The beveled black plastic pickguard is screwed to top. While about as simple as a Gibson can get, these are still a neat little guitar.
Overall length is 39 1/2 in. (100.3 cm.), 14 3/8 in. (36.5 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1/2 in. (11.4 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 3/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11/16 in. (43 mm.). All original, very little play wear but a decent amount of finish checking overall. The edge of the upper bass bout is darkened slightly. A good little player and a nice early example of Gibson's least expensive guitar, somewhat nicer overall than 1960's examples. Excellent Condition.
