Gibson 1942 Banner LG-2, Vintage Sunburst

This little giant produces a charming and seductive tone that rivals much larger-bodied guitars while maintaining exceptional clarity and focus in individual notes. The 1942 Banner LG-2 is extremely well-balanced, fast-playing and full of tone delivered by a select Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Ideal for folk, blues, and finger style, this delicately balanced model maintains a full dynamic range in a compact package.
