{"product_id":"gibson-lg-2-50s-original-vintage-sunburst","title":"Gibson LG-2 50s Original - Vintage Sunburst","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally launched in 1942 during Gibson’s famed Banner era, the LG-2 stepped in as the successor to the L-00 and quickly earned its place among Gibson’s most beloved small-body acoustics. Released alongside icons like the J-45™ and Southern Jumbo, the LG-2 became a favourite for players seeking a guitar that delivers a big, balanced voice in a more compact form—an ideal alternative to larger-bodied models. Today, Gibson proudly reintroduces this classic with the LG-2 50s Original, a faithful tribute to the highly sought-after 1950s versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponding to years of demand, this new model combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with exceptional craftsmanship. It features a solid Sitka spruce top supported by traditional scalloped X-bracing, paired with solid mahogany back and sides for a rich, resonant tone. The body is accented with three-ply top and single-ply back binding, while the mahogany neck sports a comfortable Rounded profile and a compound dovetail joint secured with hot hide glue. An unbound rosewood fretboard with 20 frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays adds understated elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleting the look is a sloped, rectangular rosewood bridge with two mother-of-pearl dots, bone nut and saddle, TUSQ® bridge pins, Grover® strap tuners with white buttons, and a tortoise teardrop pickguard for authentic vintage character. The Sitka spruce top brings a lively, bright, and balanced tone that sets it apart from wartime LG-2 models with mahogany tops, making it versatile for a wide range of genres and playing styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts smaller size offers comfort for players who prefer a more manageable instrument, while providing a distinctive tonal option for recording. To meet modern performance needs, the LG-2 50s Original comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC pickup system featuring discreet sound hole-mounted volume and tone controls. This ensures the guitar is ready for stage or studio straight out of its included Gibson hardshell case—without sacrificing its vintage appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eShape: LG-2\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Sides: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop: Solid Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Three-ply Top, Single-ply Back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eProfile: Rounded\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 43.82mm\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 628.65mm\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Mother of Pearl Dot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Sloped Rectangle, Closed Slot; Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Grover Strap with Cream Button\u003cbr\u003ePlating: Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eAcoustic Pickup: L.R.
