I bought a 1965 LG-1 from an acquataince in 1973 for 30 pounds. Unfortunately I had to replace the original machine heads a few years ago. There are cracks in it and chipped varnish but it plays beautifully even if it was the Gibson equivalent to a guitar for beginners.

The pickguard had dropped off when I got it and I'm trying to search around for somewhere I can get one. Any ideas would be welcome.
