Tman Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 You're on a roll! (takes one to know one). That looks fabulous congrats! Now you have a sibling for your L00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse_Dylan Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Nice choice! Played a few of these, and they were all great. If I hadn't fallen in love with a WM-00, I bet I'd have gotten one of these eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks Guys I have really enjoyed it in the couple days I have had it..I really like everything about it..it took a while for me to finally pull the trigger but sweetwater gave me what I thought was a good price. Love the tone for a small body guitar. Tman thanks yes it is the brother to the 00. I really love the look of your new one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Very nice. The LG2 has a lot of pop for it's size, and it's 'muscular' compared to the L00. Enjoy, Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djw171 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Congrats, very nice. Not doing my GAS any good. What year is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 2017 is what is stamped on the back of the neck. So far I am really diggin this guitar more than I thought when trying it out, it really is growing on me. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw171 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 That must be a 2017 before the 2017's have been officially released. (The HP cutaways are 2017's also). The 2016's have a different logo. This makes it seem they've done away with the date on the truss rod cover also. I was close to pulling the trigger on a 2016 but may wait now. Does it come with the LR Baggs VTC fitted?

emmonsh Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 little confused. never seen a american eagle with banner on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw171 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 little confused. never seen a american eagle with banner on it Well from what Kelly wrote, it's a 2017 model. So obviously they have changed the model again. It will be interesting to see what Gibson release as the 2017 range, although I don't understand why they have to start producing guitars with serial numbers and date stamps 5 months in advance. They've took the idea from the car marketing departments book. I'm sure, as with last year, we'll see the new 2017 Electric range launched in September and the Acoustics close after.

They've took the idea from the car marketing departments book. I'm sure, as with last year, we'll see the new 2017 Electric range launched in September and the Acoustics close after. Yep, it's really confusing. My Hummingbird Vintage, bought July 2015 (and made in maybe April?) is technically a 2016. My SJ-200, made in maybe April 2016 and bought in May 2016 is... also technically a 2016. Huh?? I have given up and just call them by the year they were purchased new. Although it would look better if I pretended my 2016 Guild D-20 was a 2017 model! Next year's guitar this year! (Then again, 2016 is their first year, so I guess having a first-year is pretty special.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw171 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I would really like one of these in a Sunburst finish..come on Gibson add it to the 2017's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of hope they don't as I have even more of a weakness for the sunbursts, I intentionally bought a couple other guitars that I liked because they were not bursts..I did not want all mine to look the same..I know stupid but that's just me.
