Part 2 - 1959 Gibson LG-1 Restoration w/ LG-2 X-Brace Transformation : Getting Started

Beginning video from a 1950's Gibson LG1 that has fallen into disrepair. Instead of restoring it to a bottom of the line LG-1 we are going to upgrade it to LG-2 specs during the process. After a long list of repairs and new X-bracing this will sound 100x's better than any LG-1did brand new.

Very interested to see (and hear) how this turns out as I have an old LG1 myself. Will you be x-bracing it exactly as if it was an original 50s LG2? Adding a backstrip?

Hey Eb, that s a nice project! Do you have any drawings of the top bracing? I want to build a copy of an LG Guitar and measured the old LG0 from a frind of mine. But for my build I want to go for X bracing. If you have a plan or drawing with correct specs that you would like to sell I would be very happy :-)
