ACOUSTIC GUITARS:1934 Gibson L-00, 1950s Gibson HG2 square-neck (also called an LG-2H).

I wondered if they meant an HG-0 or HG-00, but they weren't made in the 50's nor were they true squareneck guitars to my knowledge. Did Gibson make such a guitar, and, on a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (spock) http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/91403 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:11:35 GMT http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/91372/t/-46-LG-2-great-guitar-.html I've just received a '46 LG-2 here,a superb sounding guitar(i'm only using the term "superb" for the very best sounding guitars,and this one is no exception).
It's been played alot in it's life,and i mean ALOT,but still retains it's original finish and parts.As a player,i prefer the ones who have been played alot,sound is what matters to me the most.I had tried this one some months ago at JJ's place in Italy,and i knew that i had to have this... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yiannis71) http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/91372 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:31:17 GMT http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/91344/t/Wide-neck-39-D-28-at-Lark-Street.html No affiliation.

This one caught my eye this morning so I shot the seller an email asking for some better photos and a few questions regarding the condition.

0-18: All original except new bone nut and new correct bar frets. Neck reset and action with original saddle is fine. 100% original finish, no overspray, no cracks, some minor hen pecks.....Beautiful guitar that I believe would look like new from 4 feet away. Have not seen this one in person.
