The specialist's opinion
A true tribute to one of Gibson's most iconic acoustics, this 1942 LG-2 recreates the charm and personality of the original Banner-era models with remarkable fidelity.
Its compact size makes it easy to pick up and exceptionally comfortable to play.
Highly appreciated by blues, folk and slide guitarists, its remarkable balance and responsiveness make it a real winner.
Its torrefied Adirondack spruce top gives it astonishing harmonic depth and sonic maturity, like a guitar that's already been played for decades. Combined with mahogany back and sides, it produces a clear, articulate and rich sound in the midrange, with great depth despite its small size.
The mahogany neck, carved to the original historical profile, and the rosewood Fingerboard ensure fluid, authentic playability. The finely applied, hand-polished nitrocellulose finish completes this exceptional instrument with an elegant vintage patina.
An inspiring, deeply musical Acoustic with character.
