Tangerine Burst on top, Faded Cherry on back

This Gibson Custom Select LG-2 50s Original features a custom paint-matched Tangerine Burst finish on the top with a custom Faded Cherry finish on the back, sides, and neck. Outfitted from the factory with a Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system, this LG-2 looks and sounds incredible. Gibson Custom Select makes designs like this possible in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop and the Made to Measure program. Guitars in this collection are based on existing models, but have customized features handpicked by Gibson’s experts such as exotic tonewoods, custom finishes, and other unique specifications. This guitar is based on the LG-2 50s Original, but it has a slight twist with a custom Tangerine Burst finish, with the back, sides, and neck finished in Faded Cherry.

The LG-2 was introduced into the Gibson lineup in 1942 as a smaller alternative to the J-45™. While smaller players often prefer the model, the LG-2 has a completely different sound than the J-45. All the ingredients are the same for both models, including a solid Sitka spruce top, a solid mahogany back, sides, and neck, and an unbound rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. The LG-2 features a smaller body than the J-45, which enables the top to move with less force from the picking hand. Not only does the guitar respond well to light picking, but it also excels for fingerstyle playing. The guitar’s playing dynamics have attracted many professional players over the decades, including Chris Stapleton and Steve Earle.

Inspired by Gibson acoustic guitars made in the 50s and 60s and finished in Cherry Sunburst, this Gibson Custom Select LG-2 features a custom Tangerine Burst finish on the top, a first on a Gibson acoustic guitar. The vintage guitars that inspired this finish originally wore a Cherry Sunburst finish, but it faded over the years from ultraviolet light exposure, transforming the red perimeter into orange, and the yellow center into a light amber. This Tangerine Burst was matched to the same finish that is used at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, on guitars like the 1960 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue. The solid mahogany back, sides, and neck are finished in Faded Cherry, which is a classic pairing with Tangerine Burst.

This Gibson Custom Select LG-2 50s Original comes equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, delivering the guitar’s unique voice and every nuance of your playing with exceptional realism when amplified. Dual transducers are mounted on the bass and treble sides of the bridge plate, and each is independently voiced and paired with its own Class A preamp. These two pickups are then blended into a mono output, allowing the guitar’s unique voice to come through. Not only does the Baggs HiFi DNA pickup deliver high-fidelity sound, but its lightweight construction, coupled with the placement of the transducers and peel-and-stick installation, makes for a non-invasive design. From the string to the saddle to the bridge to the bridge plate, the natural transfer of energy remains largely unaffected, preserving the guitar’s acoustic character whether plugged in or not. 

Pairing the features of a 50s LG-2 with a vintage-inspired finish and the top-of-the-line electronics system makes for a guitar that looks the part and sounds the part. Included with the guitar is a Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity and a hardshell case.
