1943 Gibson LG-2 Sunburst

“Only a Gibson is good enough!” For your consideration a 1943 Gibson LG-2 in a sunburst finish. If you haven’t had a chance to put your hands on a Banner Logo Gibson you’re missing out! Truly a phenomenal era in Gibson production. Every time we get one through, we are always pleasantly surprised by how much character these guitars have! As far as sound goes there is very little comparison, they always have a big rich and deep sound. This very well maybe the cleanest Banner LG-2 we have had come through the shop!

Specs! The nut and saddle are newer bone replacements. A crack on the back has been glued. Original nickel 3 plate open gear tuners. Banner logo. Bone nut has a width of 1.75″. Mahogany neck with a depth of .91 at the first fret and 1.06″ at the twelfth fret (Medium Large). 24.75″ scale length. Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with a 12″ radius. Action measures 7/64″ on the bass side and 6/64″ on the treble side. The original 19 medium small frets are in very good condition. Spruce top with mahogany back and sides finished in sunburst. Rosewood bridge with new bone saddle. Original maple bridge plate. Comes with a non-original hard shell case. Weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces.

What a fantastic guitar! Sounds amazing! Great low mids and bass that really fill in the voice of the guitar. Crisp, delicate treble that floats above the mids. All the registers are very well balanced yet still retain a lot of personality. Lush sound but with a depth and complexity you wont find in your average high quality instrument. The neck is money! It’s on a the bigger side of medium (not fully baseball bat size). Both the neck and the body sit extremely comfortably for most players. Looks absolutely stunning. Truly jealous of who ever gets to take this one home!
