{"product_id":"1938-gibson-hg-00-363","title":"1938 Gibson HG-00","description":"FON Mostly illegible, but is a 3 digit number beginning with 6.  Introduced in '37, and priced the same as its counterpart, the L-00, the Hawaiian HG-00 is almost identical to the L-00, but with a 12 fret neck, slightly heavier bracing, high bone nut, and straight saddle.  These guitars are very simple to convert back to Spanish-style - a new nut and compensated saddle are all that it takes - and they generally sound incredible as standard acoustics.  This one is no exception; with a strong and punchy voice, it is a great blues and ragtime companion. But you've got to like big-necked guitars to take this one home - the neck profile is a typical 30's Gibson V, but that larger 1-7\/8\" nut make it feel quite substantial in your hand. \u003cbr\u003eMahogany back and sides, Red Spruce top, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge.  L-00 body with a 12 fret neck, 24.75\" scale and 1-7\/8\" wide nut.  Original bridge and small maple bridge plate, one repaired top crack and a small filled screw hole in top from an old pickup. Top lightly over-sprayed (original finish on back, sides, and neck); new pickguard (original will be furnished with the guitar);  tuners replaced sometime in the 1950's or 60's, original bushings; new bone nut, original frets and saddle.  Action currently set at a comfortable 5 to 8 6\/4ths.  It's not at all a museum-grade specimen, but it plays and sounds great and is priced to sell.\u003cbr\u003eNo case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610272522606,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/hg00__0707.jpg?v=1790963557","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1938-gibson-hg-00-363","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
