Description

This 1943 Gibson LG-2 in Sunburst is a classic wartime small-body that oozes character, with the dry, focused voice and strong midrange punch these Banner-era guitars are prized for. It’s an inspiring instrument for fingerstyle, old-time accompaniment, and intimate songwriting, with a responsiveness that rewards a nuanced touch.

Cosmetically, it’s very worn in all the right ways, with desirable finish checking and evidence of play throughout that give it a deeply authentic vintage vibe. It has had various repairs typical for a guitar of this age, and structurally it’s in great playing and lasting condition. The result is a wonderfully seasoned LG-2 that feels solid in hand, plays comfortably, and delivers the kind of mature, woody tone only decades of use can produce. Comes with the original chipboard case and a modern HSC.
