This here is an excellent example of a Gibson LG-1, about 1950 to 1952. Serial number 5623 17, so this indicates about 1950 or 51, 52,53,or 54, can't be a 55 since the pick guard is a smaller tear drop style and has no appearance that its been changed. Somewhere between 46 being it has open tuners. Closed tuners came after 1950. Also the block letter head stock was after 1950. So several pieces of history are here to suggest that it might be anywhere between 1947 to 1950. What i can say is that its been kept in a sound protecting case, and well cared for. It's handsomely cared for and looks beautiful and is much lighter than the normal LG-2s. Very light guitar and would make a marvelous song writer guitar, easy to carry and comfortable to have. Plays wonderful and is in tune all up the neck.
