Beautiful guitar, perfect vintage burst and sounds like you're lovin' everything else too. Great addition. Enjoy for years to come!

Thank you, both. I am definitely enjoying this one!

It is smaller overall than the 000-18 Authentic for sure. I 'think' it is somewhere between the J45 standard neck carve, and some of the larger Banners I have played.

Congratulations on a beauty!

I bet you are really enjoying that guitar. I want! I want! I want! Repeat.....

If one ever lands near me, it will be mine. But a small concern is the nut width is 1 11/16” in the specs sheet online at Gibson and Sweetwater. I have read it many times hoping it was a mistake and they meant 1 3/4”.....

You love it and many will but I have trouble getting my free swinging game going on the 1 11/16” nut without capo on 3 or 4. (I have a 1959 LG3 in my collection with the same nut.) I also have my Blues King L-00 which is a tad wider at the nut with the modern Gibson acoustic nut of 1.725.

But the LG2 is currently the only small body Gibson has made for the new Historic Series. I hope they bring out a ‘Historic L-00’ with 1 3/4” nut and maybe, just maybe, another ‘Historic LG2’ with 1 3/4” nut. I think the original Banner LG2s were V necked 1 3/4.....

Congrats, Kori! It's nice to see Gibson doing these right. I have a mild fascination with this body size.... a little smaller than an OM, but just slightly bigger than a 00. Perfect!
