Gibson / LG2 Banner Hogtop Sunburst / 1944 / Guitar For Sale

The LG2 was part of the same series as the LG1 and LG3, but this was the only model that continued production during WWII. Due to stock shortages, it was common for Gibson to use mahogany for the top instead of spruce during those years. This is also the case with this 'hogtop' from 1944. It is loved for its scalloped X-braced top and very collectible with the Banner logo on the headstock. In addition to the Banner logo, the FON number '2744' on the heel block refers to the year 1944. Thanks to the all-mahogany construction, the sound stands out with that little bit of extra punch. And certainly do not underestimate the power of this guitar! It seems small and compact, but produces a surprisingly loud sound. Strike a few chords and it almost blows you away! With a softer touch, the clarity of the high notes is particularly noticeable. This 80-year-old Gibson also looks particularly beautiful thanks to the crackle and play marks that reveal that the guitar has been played regularly over the years. The play marks are on the top as well as the back and sides, and not all the lacquer is still present on the back of the neck. The pickguard has also had a lot to endure, because over the years it has not only developed cracks, but there are even a few pieces missing. Furthermore, we find cleats on the inside of the body on both the top and the back to stabilize a few cracks in the top. The guitar has also been fitted with a new bridge saddle and a new top nut, while a refret has also been fitted. The original tuners are still on the back of the headstock, and the mechanism of the D-string is slightly bent. However, this beautiful LG2 from 1944 is a very good sounding guitar that also offers a unique playing experience due to its large neck!

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
