The best LG2 I have ever played was a 1944 model with a maple body. I ran across it some three years ago in the waning hours of a small guitar show. Had the seller been able to take any kind of plastic or had I enough time to run home and get a check book (it was Sunday so the banks were closed) that guitar would be sitting here with me right now.
