Gibson / LG2 Banner Sunburst Hog Top / 1944 / Guitar

The LG1 and LG3 stopped production right after introduction in 1942, leaving just the LG2 as the only model made through WW2. Due to the scarcity of wood during WW2, this 'wartime' LG2 comes in several variations. This 'Banner' LG2 from 1944 is a 'Hog Top', meaning it has a mahogany top as well, instead of spruce. This LG2 is still in good condition, despite the scars it has collected over the last 78 years. Visually, the weather checking, dings, and worn lacquer (especially on the 5 piece neck) are the most notable traces. The body has a couple repaired cracks on the back and on the sides of which a part on the treble side of the body also had a touch up. With a refret and newer tuning machines and bridge it offers a pleasant playability and is also ready for the years to come! It's a wonderful sounding guitar with plenty of mid-range punch, strong low-mid, lots of treble power, and excellent balance. It's open and lively and has excellent note separation and clarity without being too bright. Includes a hardshell case with TFOA passport.

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.
