{"product_id":"1947-gibson-lg-2-90","title":"1947 Gibson LG-2","description":"FON 648-4.  Amongst the very first instruments to leave Kalamazoo with the then-new \"Modernized\" logo, this guitar was likely completed in late 1946 or early 1947.  The new logo required a little less room than the \"Script\" logo it was replacing, and we suspect that Gibson moved the tuning machines about a 16th of an inch away from the nut to accommodate this difference in size. This change would have happened sometime after this guitar was built;  and as a result, you'll notice that this guitar's logo appears mis-located, when in fact there was simply more space for it to occupy on the headstock.  We find that kind of stuff interesting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gorgeous guitar, this LG-2 doesn't have a single crack and is completely original.  It has a rich reddy-brown sunburst finish that's developed a wonderfully vintage patina over the years.  With scalloped X bracing, very light weight, and a wide-grained top it's no wonder it sounds as good as it does, but this guitar has something extra-special in its voice too.  Airiness, warmth, woodiness - any of these are good descriptors. It's not the loudest LG-2 out there, but it definitely does what it does well.  Single-bound body, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, original nut, saddle, tuners, pins, and frets.  Very little fret wear, nicely set-up in shop to standard 5 - 7 64ths action.  Full height bridge, but no more room on the saddle to lower the action further.  Comfortably round neck with 1-11\/16\" nut width.  A special guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith original chipboard case\u003cbr\u003e$4199 (US $3795)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610238345582,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/lg2__1008.jpg?v=1790962730","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1947-gibson-lg-2-90","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
