Gibson LG3 Steel String Guitar Natural, 1949

On August 10, 2021 /

The Gibson LG3 was built from late 1942 to 1963 as an entry level model, but its production was suspended months after its launch due to WW2. It was introduced with the LG1 and LG2, but from 1943 to 1945, only the sunburst LG2 stayed in production. All three models were similar in appearance, but the LG1 and LG2 were ladder braced while the LG3 had what’s now the standard X bracing. In 1963, the LG3 was replaced by the B25-N (for Natural Finish Top).

Taylor 810e DLX Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 2016

On August 10, 2021 /

The Taylor 810e DLX draws from the classic Dreadnought design, pairing a Spruce top with Rosewood for the body for a full, rich sound with plenty of volume and projection. Built in El Cajon, California and dated to November 15 2016, this Taylor 810e DLX is in overall good clean condition with just a couple of small marks in the finish – they can be hard to find. Fret wear is light, and mostly limited to the lower frets and higher strings; a light dress and polish would make them look new.

Gibson SG ‘Batwing’ Standard Cherry, 2012

On August 5, 2021 /

The Gibson SG ‘Batwing’ Standard started appearing in 1966, displacing the smaller, treble-side pickguard, offering much more protection to the top of the guitar during enthusiastic use. The SG itself was originally introduced as the 1961 Les Paul, but without Les Paul’s input and at the end of his endorsement contract. For various reasons, the Les Paul name was dropped for 1963 production and has been the SG or ‘Solid Guitar’ since.

Aside from specialty models like the Supreme, it’s always been the top of the Les Paul line, with gold plated hardware, extra binding and more Mother of Pearl inlays. Some versions after the 1957 introduction of the new humbucking pickup, sported three pickups.
