Crafted at the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Caballero is identical to the LG-0 in every way save for the headstock shape. Less common than its Gibson-branded counterpart, this flattop features a concert body crafted entirely from mahogany and a transitional nut width measuring just shy of 1 ⅝”.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA true songwriter\/studio special, this Caballero is detailed, articulate, and sweet, pairing the warmth and midrange fullness of mahogany with the relaxed, open quality of a well-seasoned soundboard. Even-tempered and well-suited to fingerpicking, the bass response is restrained and immediate, while the trebles have a crisp potency and sparkle. Weighing 3lbs 15oz, this FT30 Caballero has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Slender C, measuring .770” 1st fret, .935” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Brazilian rosewood, dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, moderate wear favoring the plain strings on frets 1-5\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 ⅝”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Open-gear strip\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to ‘65\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Bracing: Ladder\u003cbr\u003e\n-Bridge: Plastic, compensated saddle\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Tortoise pickguard with “E” Epsilon decal\u003cbr\u003e\n-Marquetry: Simple rosette and binding (top)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Label: Serialized, Kalamazoo, MI blue rectangle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss nitro lacquer finish presents quite cleanly, with some vertical checking on the rims, a couple finish chips forward of the bridge and at the neck heel, and some additional minor dings and scuffs on the body as a whole.
