Description

Introduced in 1942 during Gibson's celebrated "Banner" era, the LG-2 was developed as the successor to the L-00. It quickly earned a reputation for delivering remarkable volume, warmth, and balance from a compact body size. The LG-2 50s Original continues that tradition, offering players a smaller-bodied alternative to larger acoustics while now featuring the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system.

The LG-2 50s Original returns this beloved model to the Gibson acoustic lineup with specifications inspired by sought-after examples from the 1950s. Its construction pairs solid mahogany back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, supported by traditional scalloped X-bracing that produces a rich, articulate acoustic voice. The mahogany body is accented with three-ply top binding and single-ply binding on the back for a timeless appearance.

The mahogany neck features a rounded profile and is joined to the body using a compound dovetail neck joint assembled with hot hide glue. An unbound rosewood fretboard is fitted with 20 standard frets and decorated with understated mother-of-pearl dot inlays. A bone nut and saddle contribute to responsive feel and tonal transfer, while TUSQ® bridge pins provide secure string anchoring. Grover® strap tuners with cream buttons offer dependable tuning stability and complement the vintage-inspired aesthetics, alongside its tortoise teardrop pickguard.

The solid Sitka spruce top delivers a brighter, more resonant, and evenly balanced tonal response well suited for a wide variety of musical styles. Its smaller body dimensions make it particularly comfortable for players who prefer a more manageable instrument than a larger-bodied acoustic. Its distinct voice makes it a valuable option in the studio, providing tonal variety when layered alongside larger acoustic guitars on recordings.

The Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system utilizes a pair of lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with optimized preamps for exceptional amplified performance. It delivers a full, natural acoustic sound while accurately preserving the instrument's unique character without affecting its unplugged tone. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick adjustments during performance. A Gibson hardshell case is included for secure protection at home and on the road.
