Description

The Gibson LG-2 is a standard among songwriters, folk singers and guitarists of nearly any genre. Coined for a woody sound that projects classic Gibson tone, the LG-2 is the perfect companion as a couch guitar or the main one on stage. Unlike the more affordable Ladder-braced LG-1s, the LG-2 is X-braced like other higher end models like the J-45. This example is in remarkably original/untouched condition with the only repairs being replacement tuner buttons (the originals had crumbled) and a bridge reglue. We love to see instruments like this that are preserved.

Comes in its original chipboard case in fair condition (split around rim).
