{"product_id":"gibson-lg2-50s-original-antique-natural","title":"Gibson LG2 50S Original - Antique Natural","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eShape: LG-2\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Sides: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop: Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: 3-ply top, single-ply back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eProfile: Rounded\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 628.7 mm\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Mother-of-pearl dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Rectangle, Closed Slot Sloped Rectangle\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Grover Strap Cream Button\u003cbr\u003ePlating: Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eAcoustic Pickup: Baggs HiFi DNA\u003cbr\u003eControls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896915034354,"sku":"BM711106246246","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6363\/5698\/files\/OCSBLGHFAN_1.png?v=1793061636","url":"https:\/\/www.bettermusic.com.au\/products\/gibson-lg2-50s-original-antique-natural","provider":"Better Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
