Gibson flattop model and approx year?

[deacon Mark]

Ok hate to do this but I know we have some experts in the forum. I am not on Gibson flatops. It was brought in to me for repair and needs a lot. No label inside. No serial number at least on back of headstock. Anyone know of hand the model maybe LG 0?

Looks like a late 40s early 50s LG-1
p.s. yet another person wearing socks w/ sandals?

Have too huge blister on my big toe running the last 3 days on treadmill.

Thanks that is what I was thinking. Seems it would be worth ok if not in such a mess. Back needs glued back and bridge reglued. I think it was left in a hot car at one time.

It has a backstrip(visible through the soundhole), so, more likely an LG2: Deacon Mark, can you look inside to see if it is x- or ladder braced?

That's a replacement bridge.

If an LG2, these are seriously nice flattops.

Looks like some tuners are missing their bushings, not sure what's going on w the low E shaft, replacement?

[sgosnell]

Yeah, missing bushings. The shaft on the E looks okay to me, that's not a slot in the top, it's the shadow of the string, with the light coming from the left.
