Gibson 50s LG-2 - Vintage Sunburst with Hard Shell Case

 

The Gibson 50s LG-2: Compact Vintage Charm, Full-Scale Sound

Classic Small-Body with Big Voice

The Gibson 50s LG-2 in Vintage Sunburst is a compelling throwback to an era when acoustic guitars had character baked into every curve and chord. Don’t let its smaller size fool you, this model delivers the signature Gibson voice with exceptional clarity, focused projection, and a warmth that belies its scale. Crafted for folk, blues, fingerstyle, or any player seeking vintage tone in a comfortably sized package, this LG-2 stands as a modern heir to Gibson's golden-era acoustics.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Mahogany Back and Sides

The tried-and-true tonewood pairing of Sitka spruce and mahogany is the foundation of this model’s sonic versatility. The spruce top brings brightness and headroom, while the mahogany back and sides anchor the tonal profile with a focused, woody low-midrange and plenty of warmth. Hand-scalloped X-bracing enhances dynamic response, offering that dry, punchy vintage voice with just enough overtone shimmer to make single-note lines and open chords ring with intention.

Historic V Mahogany Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard

The Historic V profile neck in mahogany provides a secure, period-correct feel without sacrificing comfort. Its 1.725-inch nut width and 24.75-inch scale length make for a distinctly playable instrument that’s quick under the fingers. The rosewood fingerboard is smooth, dark, and beautifully grained, complementing the guitar’s vintage appeal while supporting nuanced fretting and expressive bends across its 20 frets.

Stage-Ready Electronics with Timeless Style

Outfitted with an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup system, the LG-2 is ready for any stage or studio setting. The system captures the natural tonal palette of the guitar with remarkable fidelity, while the onboard soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls allow for discreet yet intuitive adjustments in real time. This is a true plug-and-play performer that maintains its classic charm, whether mic’d acoustically or amplified.

Impeccable Craftsmanship and Period-Accurate Details

Finished in a striking Vintage Sunburst with a multi-ply top binding and single-ply back binding, the 50s LG-2 is every bit a visual tribute to Gibson’s mid-century legacy. The rectangular closed-slot bridge, Grover Strap Cream Button tuners, and subtle aesthetic appointments reflect a deep respect for the original design. From its handmade tonewood construction to its flawless fretwork and gloss nitro finish, every detail has been finely tuned to deliver the look, feel, and tone of a true vintage icon.
