Small Body, Rich, Balanced Tone
The Gibson LG-2 was first introduced in 1942 during the “Banner” era as a replacement for the earlier L-00. It was released alongside other legendary Gibson models such as the J-45 and Southern Jumbo, and quickly became a popular small-body acoustic guitar model celebrated for its big, yet balanced sound. The LG-2 50s Original brings this beloved small-bodied Workhorse alternative back to the Gibson lineup with features inspired by the highly coveted 1950s-era models.
The LG-2 50s Original features solid mahogany back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top that is reinforced with traditional scalloped X-bracing for rich, balanced small-body acoustic tone. The Sitka spruce top provides a livelier, brighter, and more balanced sound than some of the war-era LG-2 models that were made with mahogany tops, making it suitable for a broad range of musical genres and playing styles.
The smaller physical dimensions of the LG-2 50s Original make it an outstanding choice for players looking for a comfortable acoustic that is easy to hold and play. It also offers an attractive tonal alternative to larger-bodied models, making it an excellent choice for adding another acoustic voice to a recording.
The mahogany body features three-ply top and single-ply back binding. The mahogany neck features a Historic V profile and is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint using hot hide glue. The neck is topped with an unbound rosewood fretboard equipped with 20 standard frets and understated mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
The LG-2 50s Original is fitted with a sloped, rectangular, closed-slot bridge made from rosewood and decorated with two mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The nut and saddle are both bone, while the bridge pins are TUSQ. Grover strap tuners with cream buttons provide solid tuning stability, while the tortoise teardrop pickguard adds to the instrument’s vintage-inspired character.
The LG-2 50s Original is now fitted with the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The result is a natural, full-bodied amplified tone that faithfully represents the LG-2’s inherent character without altering its unplugged voice.
The Baggs HiFi DNA system offers impressive gain-before-feedback compared to an under-saddle pickup. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls allow quick, intuitive adjustments on the fly while remaining virtually unseen by the audience. With its compact body, balanced acoustic voice, vintage-inspired appointments, new Baggs HiFi DNA electronics, and included Gibson hardshell case, the LG-2 50s Original is ready for the couch, stage, or studio from the moment it’s picked up.
