INV 3425 The 1952 Gibson LG-2 3/4 is a rare and charming small-bodied acoustic guitar that holds a special place in Gibson’s post-WWII lineup. Here's a detailed look at what makes it unique: 🎸 Key Features Body Size: 3/4 scale, concert-style body — compact and lightweight, ideal for travel or smaller players. Tonewoods: Top: Spruce Back & Sides: Mahogany Neck: Mahogany Fretboard: Rosewood Bracing: X-braced top for richer tone compared to ladder-braced LG-1 models. Finish: Classic sunburst with gloss styling and triple-bound top. Scale Length: 24 3/4 inches — shorter than full-size guitars, contributing to its playability. 🛠 Condition & Vintage Appeal Many surviving examples show wear: finish checking, dings, cracks, and replaced tuners or bridges. Despite cosmetic flaws, these guitars often retain excellent playability and a warm, open tone. The 1952 model is considered more lightly built than later versions, which enhances its responsiveness.
