What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: Some frets as they were could not be repaired to an acceptable state so they were replaced with spec accurate fretwire and shaped into near mint condition. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. The remaining frets were dressed. No further work was required.

This beautiful Gibson Custom Shop LG-2 is a bold black beauty brimming with vintage vibe! A faithful 1950s reissue, this unique instrument perfectly marries classic charisma with modern playability. Its historic V-shaped neck feels like an old friend, while its sweet, singing spruce top offers a soulful, spectacular sound. More than a magnificent musical machine, this guitar is a truly sound investment. It has been professionally attended to with meticulous luthier care, ensuring it is supremely playable and an absolutely rock-solid instrument that simply does not suck. This unparalleled axe is ready for its next chapter with a player who appreciates pure, powerful perfection.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
