1963 Gibson LG1 (Owned by Jack Torrey of the Cactus Blossoms)
This (almost) forgotten gem comes on consignment from Jack Torrey of the Cactus Blossoms. You may have seen an appearance from this guitar on a couple of their covers!
Supposedly purchased new by a prospecting guitarist, it was taken out for one lesson, and then left in the case for decades. We have a hard time poking holes in this theory- because this is one of the cleanest LG1s we have ever seen. The finish is glossy all over with only a couple marks in the top. The back clearly didn't touch anything but case velvet for a VERY long time until Jack scooped it up. The sound is open, clear, and robust. Strumming out an Emaj chord on this fires off like a cannon, reaching all the way to the back row. The frets are medium-low and decently wide per the era. The rosewood board is a rich deep brown without significant wear. The plastic bridge was replaced with Rosewood, and there is one bridge pin missing. Everything else on the guitar is original!
An amazing player- songs will spill out of it every time you pick it up.
Very Good - Excellent condition. Includes hardshell case.
