SMN Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hi all, The guitar pictured here is stamped LG2...and from my limited knowledge, that checks out -- rectangular bridge, big pickguard, white bridge pins, seems like a 1962-ish LG-2. However, the serial # is 806241, which dates it to either 1966 or 1969, according to every serial # database I have checked -- but wasn't 1962 the last year of the LG-2? Any idea what's going on? A serial # error, maybe? Or is it possible that Gibson made an occasional LG-2 after 1962? Any help is much appreciated! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 You need to re-post in the Acoustic section, they will definitely know about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost_of_fl Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 All I can find is: LG-2 American Eagle, a reissue of the vintage LG-2, with modern hardware and pickup. Still in production. LG-2 Americana, a 2013 limited model originally built for Patty Griffin, with Adirondack Red Spruce top yeah repost in acoustics section of forum.

SMN Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thank you, dgm and ghost_of_fl -- I did re-post in the acoustic forum, and have received some helpful replies. (Their sense is that it's a '62 with a wacky serial #.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost_of_fl Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Weird - every other pic I can find, the saddle is a little diagonal, but going the other way. EDIT: ohhhhhhhhhh it's left handed Edited May 7, 2020 by ghost_of_fl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
