• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

That is an LG1, it and the LGO are the ones that came with the not adjustable saddle on a plastic bridge, notice there is no center seam pad on the back just inside the soundhole. The B-25 had a center seam pad and came with the adjustable saddle. Some did come with the plastic bridge but not in 66. The LG1 is the Ladder braced the B-25 is X braced.

Here's a view of my son's 1962 B-25, showing the centre seam and the model name 'B-25' stamped on it.



Bone saddle replaced the original, brass nut fitted, and replaced tuners. Every single player who has picked this guitar up has asked my son how much he wants for it! Its tone and projection is incredible, and it blows away my Taylor on both counts.

Here's a couple more views of it:
