1957 Gibson LG1, aka “Jack the Guitar”. First picture shows how it came in. Swipe to see how it turned out. Recently completed an extensive restoration including a new top, headstock repair, back brace removal and replacement, new tuners, fretboard resurfacing and new frets, new bridge and saddle, fresh finish, K&K pickup, and a new Gibson case. Got one that needs some love? Maybe I can help.
