1961 Gibson

[LarryM]

I'm Larry I am 65 years old and I've been playing Acoustic and Electric guitars since I was 15 years of age. Right now, I'm trying to decide whether to make a bid on a little Gibson LG1 sunburst. It's in very reasonable condition considering it's age. They (GC) are asking $600 for it, I don't know if that's a good or bad price. I am not familiar with this site but I'll try and insert an image. On the back of the neck near the 12th fret there is a little "note" attached with capo information in what looks like typed ink. (I'm talking typewriter ink here). The fretboard is worn as are the frets. A lot of wear on the black pick guard. Although the strings do not appear to be new, I have to say it sounds pretty amazing and it does have that Gibson ring to it. The tuners and other hardware look original but I don't know that for fact. Any advice as to it's worth would be appreciated.

Larry,
What is GC? Guitar Center?

If action is good and structure is good, I would say that is well in the price range for that guitar.

Yes Tommy, that stands for Guitar Center. Should have just spelled it out...sorry.

From what I've seen at Guitar Center and on the web, $600 is a good price.
