The AEX1500 allows the player to explore new expressions in a jazz-orientated repertoire.

These two signal sources can be mixed together, offering an extensive palette of voicings and providing extensive tonal tailoring courtesy of the piezo's three-band EQ and adjustable (400Hz-2kHz) midrange.

Fitted with flatwound strings paired with an excellent setup, this guitar has incredible playability.

This stunning Gibson LG2 was originally an LG0 from the 1960's with a badly split top which was fully restored, upgraded and converted to left-handed playing by renowed British luthier Colin Keefe. 

The top was replaced to Sitka Spruce which makes it an LG2 rather than LG0 (all mahogany). It was then finished with this beautiful vintage looking sunburst with satin finish, specific to 1930/40's Gibsons.

Upgrades include a thicker Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with dots for left-handed players, thicker Brazilian Rosewood bridge to also accomodate the compensation for left-handed playing, a bone saddle and X-bracing (as opposed to the original and more fragile LG0 ladder bracing).

This is a work of art that has been restored by an artist in his own rights.

The guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity for the restoration from Colin Keefe himself.

Used (vintage and restored). Left-handed instrument. Excellent condition. Supplied with Hiscox hard case.
