1945 Gibson LG2
Wartime Gibson LG2 with the Banner Headstock. Stunning survivor and a lively player. Desirable two piece Adirondack spruce top, single piece mahogany back and sides. Scalloped X bracing with a 24 3/4″ scale, 1 3/4″ nut and featuring the single piece solid mahogany neck with the rounded chunky profile and a fully functional adjustable truss rod and mahogany blocks. Nice flat top with a clean original finish and no over-spray and crack free.
All original bridge plate, tuners and bone nut. We tastefully fabricated a new bridge from a nice piece of old growth Brazilian rosewood and gave her a nice neck set and new aged bone saddle. The impeccable luthier work was performed by David Hatchard of New Hampshire which included a set of Blazer & Henkes black colored repro bridge pins. The finger style set up is 4-3 action and proper string break over the saddle with room to lower if desired.
Quite versatile indeed, equally suitable for finger style country blues, flat picking or strumming either on stage or in the studio. This example has that punch and bright mid range, without a hint of shrillness yet wide open with that dry & boxy tone everyone searches for in a small-boded Gibson. Great sustain and louder than Hell! An overall sensational sounding guitar. Open the high resolution photos all the way for inspection.
New well fitting hard shell case.
