gibsonchiq Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I was researching this guitar, and somebody online said that in 2020 Gibson made one that was x-braced. I tried to Google this, but I don't see any indication that there has ever been an x-braced 3/4 size LG 2. Anybody knowledgeable can chime in?

slimt Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I thought those were ladder braced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonchiq Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Just now, slimt said: I thought those were ladder braced. They typically are. But I saw someone say in 2020 they made it with x bracing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieDog Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) A build that recent you might have luck calling Gibson CS. A google came up with several vendors (Reverb, musician’s friend, zzounds) with references from the 2000 aughts-2012 for this guitar mentioning only ladder bracing, and nothing from 2020. I checked the wayback machine briefly for the 2020 catalog and didn’t see any Arlos that year, or even 3/4s in the hits I got. I wonder if whoever told you 2020 either has the serial number wrong, or just mis-stated the bracing? In my googling, I think I came across the Reddit post with the reference to x bracing you may have seen, and I think the wording there was awkward. The thread morphs into LGs as a class. I can read it as he was saying the full size LG2 was reissued in 2020 as an X braced as distinguished from the earlier 3/4 s which were all ladder. But again, the context is kinda confusing.
