My 1958 Gibson LG-0. Restored and re-braced with adirondack x-bracing by Santa Rosa,CA luthier Ken Smith. Check out his guitars for sale on Reverb....Ken Smith Art Guitars
Excellent talent, congratulations! I'm from Brazil and I really like vintage guitar models. I believe that each one has its own particularity that echoes a story through the sound of wood. After seeing this video I got really interested and I'm getting one of this 1967 LG-0 model from Japan.
I'm being handed down an all original '58 LG-0 in a couple weeks. One owner. It has been sitting in a corner without strings since the mid 70's and I've been begging to fix it up since the 80's. I'm a luthier and can't decide if I'll change the chunky ladder bracing or not. Prob not even though yours sounds really great. Serial number is on the neck block. T6000 27 (plus a burn mark which could be 2 more digits. )
Beautifuly done
Great Playing Brother i could listen to you all day .
Thanks Jeff, I appreciate that, glad you enjoy it.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy your LG-0!
sounds great!
Got the same model, “58” LGO. Needed rebuilding so added a new solid top with X bracing. Sounds awesome!
How’s the conversion? Mind me asking who did it?
Any thoughts on ladder vs X conversion?

Elizabeth cotton! Love freight train
Nothing like Gibson
Amazing Guitar !! And playing
Please Can you tell me What kind of strings are you using in this vídeo?
Thanks
Thanks! Yes a great guitar. Strings are D'Addario EJ-16 phos.bronze light gauge, and pretty old ones, so you know this guitar has muscle and punch.
Love it. Is the pick guard original? Or did some not come with the 3 screw pick guards? Really awesome. Dream guitar
Hi Quinn, thanks. I made this pickguard using the original black one (with 3 screws) as a template. Looks and feels better to me.
What song do you start playing at 2:24? Beautiful playing!
Thanks Jose. The song is Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten. I have a singing version of this played on a Martin 000-15m. Thanks for watching.
SUBLIME

Hi ovu, yes all mahogany as were most all LG-0's.
