{"product_id":"gibson-lg2-banner-maple-1944","title":"Gibson LG2 Banner Maple 1944","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe've seen vintage LG2s in all sorts of wood combinations, but one with maple back and sides is a rarity!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e​The Gibson LG2 was part of the same series as the LG1 and LG3, but it was the only model that continued production during WWII. Due to stock shortages, Gibson often had to use woods other than mahogany and spruce for the back, sides and top. For this 1944 LG2, Gibson used maple for the back and sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThe LG2 came standard with a Sunburst finish, and is otherwise identical to the natural-finished LG3. It is beloved for its scalloped X-braced top and highly collectible with the Banner logo on the headstock. It looks small and compact, but produces a surprisingly loud sound. Strike a few chords and it almost blows you away! With a softer touch, the clarity of the high notes is particularly noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eAfter 80 years, the guitar has matured into a beautiful vintage instrument that leaves nothing to the imagination. The finish has aged beautifully, and the playwear and weather checking give it the unparalleled character and appearance that vintage Gibsons are so loved for! The guitar has some re-glued braces on the inside of the body, and a crack on the top has been repaired. The guitar has undergone a neck reset and refret, and is now ready for musical battle again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's safe to say that for the vintage guitar enthusiast, it doesn't get much better than this! It delivers exactly what you hope it will: a loud, woody, punchy tone. And with this, it suits strumming and fingerstyle equally well. So whether you're a singer-songwriter, Gibson enthusiast, or vintage collector, this LG2 is a joy to play and look at!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"s_text_image pt32 pb32 o_colored_level s_custom_snippet\" style=\"background-image: none;\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"row align-items-center\"\u003e\n                \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6 pt16 pb16 o_colored_level\"\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv data-oe-expression=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4z7qsR3LLTA?rel=0\u0026amp;autoplay=0\" class=\"mx-auto media_iframe_video\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"css_editable_mode_display\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"media_iframe_video_size\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6 pt16 pb16 o_colored_level\"\u003e\n                    \u003ch2\u003ePlayed by Berend Rombouts | Demo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGear:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/shop\/etledw-ear-trumpet-labs-edwina-74191\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEar Trumpet Labs Edwina Microphone\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"388-26","offer_id":53839061680447,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G47493773","price":5499.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/image_1920_d954e686-6dd3-4909-afb4-eb72539540ec.jpg?v=1782094998","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/gibson-lg2-banner-maple-1944","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
