Someone got to that '59 Sunburst Les Paul before you could check out on Reverb? You can grab this 1959 Gibson LG-1 for just 1/100th of the price. This is a great entry point into the world of vintage acoustics for any player looking for a smaller guitar to travel with or just strum on the couch. It has a dry midrange forward tone perfect for fingerpicking blues and single line melodies thanks to its ladder bracing. The natural checking in the lacquer, warm sunburst finish, and longer post-'56 pickguard make it a very attractive instrument. The full '59 neck profile with the wide 1 11/16th nut is comfortable to play without being clunky. It has a couple repairs that make it more affordable, most notably a crack in the heel which has since been neatly repaired. There are also two resealed cracks in the back. The top is completely crack free. Overall this is an excellent value in a great sounding and playing instrument from Gibson's golden era.
