Vintage 1960-1962 Gibson LG-2 Sunburst – Player Grade X-Braced Acoustic with Pickup & Upgraded Fixed Bridge

The Ultimate Vintage Player’s Companion

Step onto the stage or into the studio with a true piece of Kalamazoo history. This Vintage 1960-1962 Gibson LG-2 Sunburst is the quintessential "player's grade" acoustic guitar. Renowned for its coveted X-bracing, the LG-2 delivers a warm, balanced, and remarkably punchy tone that punches far above its small-body size—making it a legendary choice for recording artists and gigging musicians alike.

This specific instrument has been thoughtfully upgraded and meticulously maintained to meet the demands of modern players while retaining its authentic 1960s vintage mojo.

Thoughtful Upgrades for Superior Tone & Playability:

• Fixed Bridge Conversion: The heavy, tone-sucking adjustable 60s bridge has been professionally replaced with a traditional belly-down rosewood fixed bridge and drop-in bone saddle. This highly desirable modification significantly increases the guitar’s volume, sustain, and natural resonance.
• Stage-Ready Electronics: An under-saddle transducer (UST) pickup has been cleanly installed with a sleek strap-button output jack, making this vintage acoustic ready to plug-and-play for live gigs.
• Freshly Recrowned Frets: Say goodbye to vintage fret-out. The frets have been freshly recrowned, ensuring smooth playability, accurate intonation, and a fast, comfortable neck right out of the case.

Vintage Character & Condition:

This guitar wears its history proudly. It features beautiful, authentic lacquer checking and the honest wear of a well-loved instrument. There is a professionally repaired and stabilized impact crack on the lower bout near the binding. Additionally, the back of the headstock bears the subtle Gibson "2" stamp, designating it as a factory second on the day it was built due to a minor cosmetic finish flaw—a quirky and cool piece of Gibson trivia that does not affect its structural integrity.

Premium Protection:

While original 60s chipboard cases offer little protection, this LG-2 comes housed in a brand new, non-original premium hardshell case, ensuring safe transport and proper humidity control for its next 60 years of life.
