Gibson LG-2 50s Original (Baggs HiFi DNA Preamp) - antique natural

Discover the Gibson LG-2 50s Original Collection, a modern reinterpretation of an iconic guitar that combines tradition and innovation to deliver an exceptional musical experience.

Overview

The original Gibson LG-2 was introduced in 1942 during Gibson’s “Banner” era. Recognizable for its compact size and rich tone, it has won over countless guitarists. Its design evolved due to material shortages caused by World War II, but its essence remained intact. This contemporary model, the Gibson LG-2 50s, incorporates modern features while preserving the legacy of the classical guitar.

All-solid-wood construction for rich, warm tones

The LG-2 50s Original Collection is built with an all-solid-wood construction, giving it exceptional resonance:

• Sitka spruce top for optimal sound projection
• Mahogany body and neck, ensuring remarkable warmth and tonal balance
• Rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets for enhanced playing comfort

This combination of materials produces clear, dynamic tones, ideal for fans of fingerpicking, blues, or traditional folk.

An innovative preamp system for an authentic sound

Equipped with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system, the LG-2 50s stands out for its ability to capture acoustic nuances with precision and fidelity:

• Two pickups positioned under the bridge, capturing both the vibrations of the strings and those of the soundboard
• Active preamps for each pickup, ensuring optimal sound quality
• Volume and tone controls integrated into the inner rim of the soundhole for easy access

This system delivers a natural sound reproduction that faithfully reflects the guitar’s original acoustic character.
