1958 Gibson LG-1 demo ~ Chuck Cheesman

[mintymuncher]

i've got that exact model, the 1958 lg1, have had it for a while now, and for me, the best sound i get out of it is with the elixir nanoweb strings, they just bring the guitar to life!

what does lg 1 mean ?

thanks

[mstark7]

what did strings do you use on your lg-1?

[flagstaffcharli]

@mstark7 I think they were D'addario EJ16. I usually use EJ19 on my other guitars. Cheers,

wow so nice

[docbeale]

Is this open tuning?

[flagstaffcharli]

@docbeale standard tuning... just fooling around in E.

Literally just bought a 1963 LG-1 yesterday. Really need to improve my blues playing now.

Train @ 2:11 makes this vid even cooler than it already was! Nice pickin' and thanks for posting!

[sasquatch888]

ur only getting sound on the right side, you might wanna check your mic

[flagstaffcharli]

@sasquatch888 Yep. This was one of the first vids I shot and I didn't realize I had a mono signal coming into it. Apologies.

[PeteWojMusic]

You really got a good one, Chuck. Sounds unreal.

[MrJoespray]

I have a 1959 Gibson LG-1. Bought it for 40 dollars in a pawn shop when i was 12. All original, plays great, and sounds even better.

Chuck -- terrific playing and nice sounding little axe. I also like those small bodied Gibsons -- I have a 1936 Gibson TG-1 which is the same body with a slimmer neck and four strings. One thing that big G prob. should not have done is those adjustable bridges -- they are inferior to the simpler non adjustables IMO  -- if you ever decided to upgrade it that's were I'd start.

Nice video, and very nice guitar... Congratulations !

[joethebom]

awesome!!!!

[flagstaffcharli]

Thanks. Obviously, to all who watch, I made the mistake of recording this in mono and it's only going to come out of one speaker. Learning... :-)
