Seller's description

The Gibson LG-2 was first introduced in 1942 during the “Banner” era as a replacement for the earlier L-00. It was released alongside other legendary Gibson models such as the J-45™ and Southern Jumbo, and quickly became a popular small-body acoustic guitar model celebrated for its big, yet balanced sound, and which provides an excellent small-bodied alternative to larger models like the J-45. Now, Gibson is proud to introduce the LG-2 50s Original, which brings the LG-2 model back to the Gibson lineup with features inspired by the highly coveted 1950s era models. Demand for the return of this model has been high, and fans of this small-bodied Workhorse alternative will not be disappointed. The LG-2 50s Original features solid mahogany back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top that is reinforced with traditional scalloped X-bracing for rich, small body acoustic tone. The mahogany body features three-ply top and single-ply back binding. The mahogany neck features a Historic V profile and is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint using hot hide glue. The neck is topped with an unbound rosewood fretboard that is equipped with 20 standard frets and adorned with understated, yet classy mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The LG-2 50s Original is fitted with a sloped, rectangular, closed-slot bridge made from rosewood that is decorated with two mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The nut and saddle are both bone, while the bridge pins are TUSQ®. Grover® strap tuners with white buttons provide solid tuning stability and, along with the tortoise teardrop pickguard, add to the instrument’s vintage charm. The LG-2 50s Original’s solid Sitka spruce top provides a livelier, brighter, and more balanced sound than some of the war-era LG-2 models that were made with mahogany tops, making it suitable for a broad range of musical genres and playing styles. The smaller physical dimensions of the LG-2 50s Original also make it an outstanding choice that is easier t
