pcf Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 A early 30’s L-2 gold sparkle...please PM if you have one or known of one. Haven’t signed on in years. Still some good reading around here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbiii Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) I have one -- restored by Randy Wood. It is not for sale or anything, but I'll tell what I can. It is a spectacular model -- 1931 was sort of the first big bang year for Gibson. Good luck, Tom Edited November 16, 2020 by tpbiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcf Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Tom, I’ve admired photos of your L-2 before. Lovely guitar. Any experience with rosewood versus mahogany versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any experience with rosewood versus mahogany versions? No, I have never even played one. I know a couple of people who have them, so maybe I'll get a chance to play one one day. The RW is really rare and if memory serves, they predated the mahogany ones slightly. In news of the weird, many of them (most? all?) were trapeze bridges -- those must have lacked power or tone when built, because they are often (usually?) converted to pin bridges. Tell me the story if you find one. Best, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
