I found one of these about 5 years ago in an antique mall for a mere $225 and bought it. It was a 1964 model and needed the stupid plastic bridge replaced which I had done. I was never happy with this box, it just could not put out much sound, and bass response was non-existent. I have had a '62 LG3 bought new in '63 and there is no comparison. I traded it for something else and then got rid of that too for something better. It was a good stepping stone. The LG0 is not a bad guitar. It still has Gibson quality and sound, but is the lowest end model they have made. It was $80 new.
