Gibson LG-2 Bridge Plate Photo
I would like to see what the bridge plate looks like on an LG-2. If anyone has a photo would you please send me one or however many you have? You can either attach them here or PM me. I would appreciate it. Thanks

What year are you talking about? I think they varied a lot especially during war time years. I just pulled one out a couple months ago but it came out in pieces and I didn't take any pics. It was about .09in thick and only as wide as the bridge.

I would not alter the originality of a '47 Gibson. So no I would not add wood in front of the original bridge plate unless it was for repair purposes. And there probably just isn't enough room there anyway.
I like K and K stuff, it's about the best there is for acoustic guitar imho. For many many years I hated USP's with their rubbery thuddy fake tone that was till a couple years ago when I found the Fishman Aura. Now, again IMHO, a Fishman USP with an Aura is the very best acoustic amplified I've ever come across. |

I would attach the pickups to the piece of wood, and then with hot hide glue, have the whole unit fastened to the underside of the top. Removal is then easier if desired. It can even be done in back of the bridge plate where there is more room. Regards, Howard Emerson
