❌SOLD❌ Gibson LG3 Steel String Guitar Natural, 1949

On August 10, 2021 /

The Gibson LG3 was built from late 1942 to 1963 as an entry level model, but its production was suspended months after its launch due to WW2. It was introduced with the LG1 and LG2, but from 1943 to 1945, only the sunburst LG2 stayed in production. All three models were similar in appearance, but the LG1 and LG2 were ladder braced while the LG3 had what’s now the standard X bracing. In 1963, the LG3 was replaced by the B25-N (for Natural Finish Top).

On August 4, 2021 /

The Gibson LG1 was introduced during 1942 along with the LG-2 and LG-3 as entry level models – and with the US entry into WW2, but after about 100 of each were built, both the LG-1 and LG-3 were discontinued for the duration of the war. While the LG-2 was built throughout WW2, the LG-1 and LG-3 were not built from 1943 to 1945. In 1958, the LG-0 was introduced.

❌SOLD❌ Martin 00-18 Steel String Guitar Natural, 1950

On July 30, 2021 /

Here is a lovely Martin 0018 steel string guitar built during April of 1950, very glossy and having had a neck reset for great playability! As an ’18’ style model, the Martin 0018 construction features a Spruce top (Sitka since the early 1940’s) and Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck. The bridge, fingerboard and head plate are Rosewood – and as this guitar was built before 1967, that means Brazilian Rosewood.
