That would actually be an LG3 would it not?. I guess I am just Old School and as it is Gibsons' company they can call the guitar whatever they want. I am a big fan of the Antique Acoustics stuff. Sadly they no longer offer their tuners. The last LG2 I owned was a script logo '46. About two years ago I found myself sorely tempted to return to the fold when I ran across a '44 with a maple body at a small guitar show. If the seller had taken plastic (it was a Sunday and the banks were closed) that guitar would have come home with me.

I’m just now seeing this!
She’s looking good! The pick guard looks really nice. It was already a great little guitar and now with all the work you’ve put it in it I’m sure it’s even more amazing. The recipient of this one is going to be very happy. I’ll always miss this little gem of a guitar but this has been a fun post sale experience watching the care put into it and what the future holds for it. Great work Daryl!
