This 1951 Gibson LG-2 is the real deal—a guitar that has been played and loved, with a tone that truly sings. Offering rich harmonic depth, incredible resonance, and an unmistakable vintage character, it embodies everything we admire in a well-aged acoustic guitar. The sound is beautifully “opened up,” full of warmth and clarity, making it a joy to play.

Crafted with a solid Adirondack spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this guitar boasts a stunning, naturally aged sunburst finish. The mahogany neck is topped with a smooth rosewood fingerboard, perfectly complementing the rosewood bridge. Every element of its construction contributes to its remarkable tonal balance and dynamic response.

This LG-2 is in excellent vintage condition, showing the kind of honest wear that only decades of passionate playing can bring. It has some well-repaired cracks, but overall, it remains in great shape. The tuners have been replaced with vintage-style counterparts, preserving its classic aesthetic while ensuring reliable functionality. The back of the neck has a new finish, which makes it play very smothly.

Playability is outstanding—thanks to a well-executed neck reset, the action is comfortable, the frets are in great condition, and the neck is straight, making it an effortless instrument to play.

Tonally, this is one of the most expressive and mature mahogany-bodied guitars we’ve ever encountered. It delivers a deep, resonant voice with remarkable power and articulation. The aged woods and masterful construction create a sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and impossible to fully capture in words.

The Factory Order Number (FON) inside confirms its production year as 1951.

Includes a non-original case.

A true vintage treasure, ready to inspire its next owner!
