Oliade677 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Last June, I picked up a project Gibson LG-2 guitar. There were numerous cracks on the body, including a nasty one on the back that was patched with a peculiar substance. The guitar spent 7 months in the shop, having finally been returned home this past Friday. The first few frets are fairly worn, but the neck is in nice shape and the rest of the frets are solid. I also own a 70's Gibson Heritage. The LG-2 sounds much brighter and livelier, though I've only spent a short while with it. They are both great guitars, but to me, the LG-2 really stands out. Below are some before and after pics. Before: After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbiii Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Great improvement. Congratulations on owning a sweet little guitar. Yes. We love to rescue old guitars. We did it for a 59 LG-1 -- it is now a fine player. Thanks for posting. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Very nice job - Always love seeing a guitar being put back to where it can do was it was meant to do. Not sure that one is from the 1950s though. The ADJ bridge and cherry burst scream 1960s probably a 1962 which would be the last year the LG-2 was made being replaced by the B-25.
