SOLD - Vintage Gibson LG-2 – USA 1954

SOLD

Gibson LG-2 is one of the great flattops – practically made for the blues. The combination of smaller body and cross-bracing limit unwanted sustain, providing the tighter, more controlled tone many players like for the blues or jazz. 
 
Almost 70 years ageing of the hand-selected spruce top and Honduran Mahogany back & sides has beautifully enriched the guitar’s tone. Strumming, fingerstyle or slide, the LG-2 has got the blues covered. Of course, you can play whatever music you want on your LG-2 – it’s a fully hand-built Gibson, so you know it’ll handle pretty much anything you want to throw at it. 
   
This one is in player grade condition. It has had a few changes in its lifetime including a replacement bridge and one side of the tuners. And it’s got some battle scars, but structurally all seems good. The top is pretty clean and straight with one obvious crack repair below the soundhole – minimal belly bulge, and the bridge intonates well now. Original nitro lacquer is ageing nicely. 

The action is good, and the neck is comfortable in all positions. Frets have probably been replaced at some point and are showing little wear. Truss rod works fine. 

The full-scale neck features a comfortably small, rounded-C profile, with a nut width of 1-11/16” / 43.5mm. The dark Rosewood board is in great condition. Mother-of-pearl dot inlays, button tuners, tortoise-pattern pick guard and front & rear binding complete the package.
   
Comes in a quality non-original hard-shell case.
