1947 Gibson LG-2
A 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.
With original chipboard case
