The SCSJ custom at 50 made, is this any different than the SCSJ that some of us here own? Mine....and I assume all of them have the custom shop logo on the back of the headstock.

 

It would be neat to know that I have one of 50 made.........so far. [biggrin]

I'm curious to find out if there are any special differences that are going to distinguisg the Banner SJ, besides the decal.

 

 

Dan ,

 

I'm sure Bob can fill you in on that but If I had to guess these would be done in the same fashion as the J 45 1942 that they only did a couple of .

Yep. I received this email last moth and immediately ordered my Hummingbird TV. I missed them the first time they were available. I bought a relly nice example of the Modern Classic. But it wasnt responsive enough for me. I should have just bought the TV the first time.

December cant come soon enough for me. Im so excited!!

 

 

Im curious as to what exactly a J-45 Pelham Blue is? Hmmmm!

Gibson LG2 Americana VS

 

The new LG-2 Americana VS was built for Grammy Award winning Americana icon Patty Griffin. The little gem has the projection expected of a J-45 with the clarity only a small bodied guitar can provide. The slim taper neck profile and 1.725 nut make it an easy player, while the red spruce top and hide glue top bracing give this beauty a powerful voice.

 

Body Style: Small body LG-2

Wood: Adirondack Red Spruce Top, Mahogany Back & Sides

Binding: Multi-ply top, single-ply back, 3-ply single-ring rosette

Finish: Classic Vintage Sunburst, Nitrocellulose Lacquer

Neck: Mahogany, slim-taper wuth 1.725" bone nut

Neck-to-body: Compound dovetail secured with hide glue at the 14th fret

Additional detail: Hide glue assembled scalloped top bracing

Fingerboard: 12" radius rosewood with MOP dot inlay

Scale: 24 3/4"

Bridge: Traditional rosewood belly up with bone saddle

Pickguard: Tortoise Teardrop

Tuning Machines: Gold open back vintage style, 15:1

Electronics: L.R. Baggs Element Pickup

Its a nice colour. Looks OK on them there electrical ones

 

I'm not convinced. With a black back-drop and the right lighting, OK. It's not the colour itself, just somehow looks like it belongs on a strat played by **** Dale's mate or something. Not quite what I'd want on a 335.

I agree. Its a nice colour, but if I was shopping I can't see myself lifting one of those ahead of a nice red or black guitar

SJ BANNER – only 50 made

 

Hmm. These remind me of a couple of my personal guitars that I sent to Gibson Montana. It's nice learn that something came of that project. Please keep me informed, JC.

Here is a link to a site selling with photos the new LG-2 Americana.....I like the burst pattern, straight side headstock with script logo, and Adirondack spruce top....

 

http://guitarvillage.uk.com/product/14601-150/Gibson-LG2-Americana-VS-LS2AVSNH1-New-Vintage-Sunburst-Incl-Case.aspx

 

It is cool to see there are a number of LG-2 variants floating around these days....everyone should own an LG-2...

 

A few off the top of my head....

 

2006 Fuller's LG-1 reissue, but really x-braced LG-2 kind of in the 50s style..., block logo, big pickguard,

2012 LG-2 Custom reissue VSB Banner, spruce top (my daily player)

20?? LG-2 Custom reissue VSB Banner with Adirondack spruce top....don't know anything about these but one was on Craigslist Austin several months ago

2012 LG-2 American Eagle

2013 LG-2 Americana

2013 LG-2 Mahogany (later this year)

 

I would like to see an LG-2 TV as part of the standard Gibson line up
