Here's a rare guitar!  The LG-2 was Gibson's small-body acoustic, the successor to the L-0 and L-0 of the 1930's.  It was first produced during World War II, during the "Banner" era, when Gibsons featured a banner on the headstock reading "Only A Gibson Is Good Enough".  These wartime Gibsons are highly sought after by both collectors and players, and this LG-2 can satisfy both.  It's not entirely original - there's some overspray on the back, the bridge is a new (and perfect) replacement by Dennis Berck, and the tuners are probably not original - but all is in great shape. The best news is that the guitar plays and sounds like a dream! 

One feature found on some Banner Gibsons is the "skunk stripe" - a line of black paint down the center of the lower part of the top.  These were used to disguise less-than-perfect center seams resulting from wartime wood shortages - and this is only known LG-2 with a skunk stripe!  NOHSC.
