the seller does a good job of explaining the issue around the plastic bridges on these vintage Gibson student guitars. This one is a player - not a perfect collector - but any player worth his salt upgrades the bridges on these anyway.

I have a 1966 Gibson LG-0 in great condition. This guitar plays great has great action and very few markings for as old as it is. It comes with the original case which is always good when you have an old collectible guitar. . In the sixties Gibson made LG-0s with rosewood bridges and plastic bridges. The ones with the rosewood bridges are worth more and retail around 1100 dollars at this time. This guitar originally had a plastic bridge but recently had an ebony bridge put on and was fully set up to make it a great playing and sounding guitar and could arguably have increased its value. It definitely makes it better all around guitar. There have been some corrections. The value on this guitar according to vintage guitar magazine is in the 675 to 800 range because of the original plastic bridge. The plastic bridge has been replaced as many of them need to be at some point with an ebony bridge. This definitely makes the guitar a better playing guitar with excellent action and sound but can be seen as a drawback because its originality is compromised Please call me if you are interested. 314-489-2894. I will not reply to scams.
