Gibson / LG-2 / 1947 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
For your consideration is this lovely Golden era Gibson LG-2 from 1947. The guitar is a fabulous just post WWII example of the model. Unlike the LG-1, the LG-2 is X-braced which leads to better sound quality.
The 1946-1948 models very often have no FON number (and this one is no exception), so they have to be dated by features. This one is a very early model with the block script "modern" logo that appeared in 1947, which is a decal not a silkscreen. Other typical features include a gorgeous sunburst top finish, mahogany back and sides, small tortoise celluloid pickguard, small rectangle bridge and single-bound top and back.
The guitar had a refret and a neck reset. So action and playability are very good. The headstock is tapered in depth, still with WWII pattern riveted-gear Kluson tuners fitted. The truss-rod equipped neck has a lovely round-backed "C" profile, substantial feeling but quite a bit slimmer than the thick wartime "baseball bat" style and very comfortable.
There's some cool finish crazing on the top and a few dings but no top cracks. Repaired crack on the upper side.
This is a really excellent playing and sounding guitar, sweet and powerful sounding and far better preserved than most from the 1940's , complete with the original black chipboard case.
Overall very good condition.
