1957 Gibson LG-2

FON U-2613-27. Gibson was building some good guitars in 1957. Kalamazoo must have had some good weather or something. The LG-2 pictured here is a loud and punchy little guitar, with a feisty edge, and a strong cut. LG-2's are great jam guitars - you're often the loudest instrument in the group; but they love being played softly too, and are responsive to a light touch. My own LG-2 is my go-to guitar -and my desert-island instrument - so I'm a bit biased, but if you're looking for a great sounding LG, this is the one. In excellent condition, with a very well repaired pickguard crack and no other issues. Completely original, and well set up. The action measures 5 to 8 64ths at the 12th fret with ample saddle room to come down further. Full height Brazilian Rosewood bridge, original tuners, nut and frets, clean original finish with some minor dings here and there and not much lacquer craze. A very fine instrument.
With original soft shell case
