Gibson LG2 Sunburst 1952

Of Gibson's LG models, the LG2 was the only model that was also made during World War II. This model is distinguished by the X-bracing and sunburst finish of the LG1 and LG3 respectively. In 1946, the 'Banner' logo disappeared, and in 1948 the Gibson 'Script' logo also made way for the more modern 'Block' logo as on this LG2.

This smaller Gibson model falls between the J45 and Gibson's L00, making it a comfortable guitar with a very responsive and balanced sound that can be used for both strumming and fingerstyle. This is why this model is still very popular with singer-songwriters. A vintage LG2 stands for a magical sound that has only added more character over the years.

This LG2 from 1952 has been through a lot over the years, but the guitar is completely ready for a new owner after several repairs. The bridge plate has been repaired and the tuning machines have been replaced, as well as the top nut and the bridge saddle. Furthermore, the center seam on the back of the body has been repaired at some point, and another center strip has been placed in the body. Some braces have also been re-glued, as have parts of the binding. The original tuners are included with the guitar.

Furthermore, this LG2 shows the typical crackle and play marks that you can only find on a vintage Gibson! The dry and woody sound also lends itself perfectly to convincingly performing the most beautiful musical stories, because the lived-in character resonates beautifully in the played notes and chords! This LG2 comes with a TFOA passport in a TKL hardshell case.
