Sent my 1957 Gibson LG-1 off to Baxendale Guitar in Athens, GA to have the ladder bracing converted to x-bracing. They took the back off the guitar, removed the neck, removed all the original ladder bracing. They cleaned the interior of the guitar, cleaning up an amateurish glue job that someone had tried on the loose back braces. They put on a new bridge, reset and refretted the neck, put on a new bone nut and set a perfect action. I'm just incredibly happy with the result. I took a little time and recorded the guitar a little bit. I'm using very good conversion (Antelope) and an absolutely great condenser that I use for most acoustic stringed instruments in my studio, a JJ Audio modified Oktava MK012 straight into Pro Tools 12. Theres no compression and no eq.
