This is a late 60s LG-0, it's ladder braced like the much more common hog top LG-0s but has a spruce top. It's rare to find one of these spruce top models in this condition. This is from a few years before Gibson acoustic quality fell off a cliff in the early 70s so they were still using good wood (nice dark brazilian fretboard and bridge, very nice soundboard) but had already deviated from the 50s designs in some respects to include the adjustable saddle, wider frets, and a narrower nut. It has a nice thunky low end and sounds great with a pick. I've leveled crowned and dressed the frets, set it up with a nice low action with no buzz, and swapped the original tuners (included) out for a stewmac golden age 3 on a plate nickel set. I will put the original "LG-0" truss rod cover back on and replace the paper towel with a new pickguard before sale unless you'd rather do it yourself, the original chip board case is included. Would be a great option for a bluegrass person or any flatpicker who wants something a little smaller than a dreadnaught or someone with smaller hands who likes a narrower nut. Asking $1200, no trades please.
