Details
It's great to see Gibson taking these early LG models seriously, and this Custom Shop example has some significant "under the hood" upgrades. One is the torrified Adirondack spruce top (Gibson calls it "thermally aged", Martin calls the process VTS). The top bracing is lighter, and scalloped, but another plus is the lighter back bracing as well and the result is a lightweight and very responsive acoustic. The neck is our favorite Gibson shape with that slightly chunky D profile.
It hasn't been played much so has almost zero fret wear, or any kind of playing wear. Nice original case has the COA, plus Gibson polishing cloth and other case candy goodies that came with it when new.
