1951 Gibson LG-2

FON 6962-29. With its original Fire-stripe pickguard, dark sunburst finished top contrasting against aged white purflings, and small Brazilian rosewood bridge, this '51 Gibson easily ranks among the most attractive LG-2's we've yet come across. It is in excellent condition, with no top cracks, one repaired side crack, and a well-repaired back seam separation. Very clean original finish, original nut, frets, and tuners (replaced buttons). Perfect neck angle and set up, the guitar plays like a dream with action at the 12th fret measuring 5 to 7 64ths. Scallop-braced spruce top, mahogany back and sides, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge. New bone saddle and bridge pins installed in our shop. We removed a pickup form the guitar, as such the end-pin hole has been widened to 1/2" and a new endpin has been installed. Exceptional tone, with very woody mids and vintage warmth. Exceptionally balanced, this guitar would find favor with any flat-picker or fingerstylist; and, thanks to its knock-out looks you collectors are going to love it too.
