Irving Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 post up guitiar Hey all, I need help getting some info on this guitar. I have had it in my possession for close to 15 years. I dont know much about it. I brought it to a few local stores about 10 years ago and was told (I dont know if its right or wrong) that it is a Gibson blues parlor guitar from the 1950s. And that there was some type of "bridge" work on the inside that compromised the serial number. I have considered sending it in to Gibson and having them look at it and get it in better shape but I'm not sure if its worth it or not. Can you guys give me any info? estimated value? anything would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Early 50s LG-2. Nice little guitar - from the pic this looks to be in good shape - maybe cruise on over to the Acoustic section and post this inquiry there - lots of LG-2 knowledge there.

jedzep Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Quickie assessment...LG2 if Xbraced ( V ) under and below the soundhole. If so...$2500 and up if condition is good. Your guitar shop should ideally have a little more on the ball. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I agree with the above assesments....and judging from the tuners it could even be late-40's. I can,t remember when they changed to closed-back Klusons? She looks real nice, at any rate Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Dan, I have been working diligently on getting the thread count UP over here..... and you are steadily sending them "over there" to the 'dark-side'....Bwah-ha-ha Absolutely kidding....of course Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Irving has a guitar here that's way to cool not to share in the Acoustic section - just had to point out the available resources. i don't know why I even look here in the vintage section - my oldest guitar is a 2002... Sure is innaresting though. I am just not a vintage guy, scares the bejeebers outta me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no better feeling than when you open a case and see a dinged, scratched, faded, old LG-2 or J-45, lift it out of the musty case, drag a decent pick across the strings, and find it rings like a bell.
