1960 Gibson LG-0, serial number R8391 12. It appears to be all original except for one replaced back brace. I used quarter sawn spruce and tried my best to replicate the missing brace. I have included some photos using an industrial black light so you can see that there have been no repairs. I will start at the top of the guitar and work my way down:The tuners are original and they do work. Understand that they were inexpensive 56 years ago and are not Schallers but they do work and do not need to be replaced. The truss rod cover appears original. I assume the truss rod to be fine, as the neck is about as perfect as any I've seen, with a touch of backbow when unstrung and just about arrow straight at pitch. There is what appears to be a hairline crack on the back of the headstock. I tried flexing it and it would not open up. Trust me, if it moved, I would fix it now before it spread. I then looked at it under the blacklight and I don't see any evidence of repair or touch up. I'm not doubting it's actually a crack but it appears to be very minor and stable. The frets have definite wear in the first position and they do show it! However the wear does NOT cause any playing problems, buzzing or anything weird. I am not a strong advocate of fret levelling except in the most minor of cases to even them up and polish them; I do NOT believe in trying to resurface a fret to make the wear disappear. I think you end up with half-assed frets and it will play like crap. If frets are bad enough to cause a problem (which these do not), then a refret is in order, at least a partial one. The neck set on this guitar is nothing short of amazing. It is a thing of beauty. If this hasn't needed a reset in 56 years, then it will NEVER need one. The angle is wonderful and will outlive any one of us. The body has numerous scratches and bumps and these show up even more under the black light. I do not detect any open seams or cracks. The photos of the top make it look like the seam is questionable but I think that's just the lighting. The bridge is not loose. I can see a tiny gap under the treble side but I doubt a piece of paper would go in far. It's glued AND bolted so it's not moving. The top does have a definite bulge behind the bridge. I did not find any loose braces except for the end of one closer to the sound hole, which I glued. This guitar is ladder braced and has a massive bridge plate. I don't even want to think about trying to flatten this top. I also am not a fan of those bridge doctor things, but one wouold definitely flatten the top if you were so inclined. The action on this guitar is not great at the moment; the string height is about 0.140" at the 12th fret BUT the bone saddle protrudes up out of the bridge a full 0.250" at the D and G strings so you could lay the strings right on the fingerboard if you wanted to. I intended to pull the saddle and remove some material from underneath, as the saddle appears to be very good quality and has a good radius but it may or may not be glued into the saddle slot. If I snapped it off and had to replace it, that would be reflected in my asking price. You may be able to wiggle it out of there but I stopped after 15 seconds. The guitar comes with a soft case of unknown lineage. It does the job.I've told you everything I know about the guitar and as such I will not accept any returns. I ask you to respect that, like ebay USED to be. If you want to buy something on approval, buy from Gruhn's or Elderly. I'm not a dealer; I flip guitars once in a while to help pay for ones I wouldn't otherwise be able to afford. Buyer pays actual shipping.
