Latest Blog Entry

1950 Gibson LG1

Friday, May 07, 2010 @9:56:48 AM


I'm in the process of weeding out the instruments that I no longer use.  I sold four guitars and bought one, this 1950 LG1.  I've had it for three days and I'm loving it.  It's not a bluegrass guitar, but a small bodied, ladder braced beauty that responds well to blues, finger-style, old time tunes and it sounds great for swing/sock style playing.
