Harkening back to Gibson's popular smaller body LG-2 of the 1940s and 1950s, this very limited run of 41 guitars for all of North America features a solid, select Adirondack spruce (red spruce) top, hide glue bracing and in the Compound Dovetail neck joint, gold tuning machines and an L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup, system which mirrors the movement of the soundboard as you play.

Hide glue is hundreds of years old in the building of acoustic instruments, and offers an almost transparent bond between two wooden pieces, maximizing transferrence of resonance and ultimately, tone. The traditional Compound Dovetail hide glued neck joint, remains the most difficult method of joining neck to body, but also gives all Gibson Acoustic guitars maximum strength, resonant and tonal transference between the solid, genuine mahogany neck and body. Gibson LG-2 comes in a Gibson Hardshell case with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
