1949 Gibson LG2 – £4749

NEW ARRIVAL  The LG2 was made from 1942 – 1962, possibly the most desirable small bodied post war Gibson model available. It’s a 00 size guitar with X bracing, making the guitar extremely resonant – a surprisingly big sound for a small bodied guitar. It’s rare to find such an early example. The most obvious difference to the later LG2’s is the neck – it’s fuller feeling – meaning it carries richer tone and greater sustain than more easy to find 50’s equivalents. The guitar is in fantastic playing condition, and the tobacco burst is simply stunning. Tonally it’s one of those guitars that just makes you want to play and play, reminiscent of so many old recordings. The guitar’s in good condition for it’s age – with plenty of visible playwear, and one repaired back crack. it’s had a neck reset and re-fret, so it plays really well. It also has an active under saddle pickup fitted. To add to the cool factor, the guitar comes in it’s original croc hard case.
