I did a quick check  of mine. All of them look to be 2-1/8" except the L00 RI is 2-3/8" and the '42 LG1 is 2-1/4"

That makes sense. Gibson seems to have switched to 2 1/8" (54 mm) sometime in the 1940's, I believe. Individual models may have carried on with previous wider string spacing, It pays to get exact measurements on older guitars if this is an issue for you.
