Gibson L-00 vs LG-2 - Small Body Comparison 

По-любому.

You lucky thing for having both (!) I have my eye on only one alas. As it's just for fingerpicking I'm more tempted by the smaller L-00 as I love the size and vintage vibe, and want a fundamental tone with less overtones. I have my strumming needs catered for by my OM-16 Martin.

The LG-2 with an inlaid peghead script beats out stenciled paint.

I grew up with my Mom's. Still the best-sounding acoustic I've ever played.

Sound try the Nathaniel Rateliff LG-2. Normally I don’t like Artist models, but this one doesn’t advertise itself as such and has some cool bling upgrades. And the sound is f*cking incredible!! They really nailed it with that model.

@@craig1474 thank you for the information!

Good luck to anyone trying to keep up with Gibson models/names.

Do you mean that as a compliment?

@@michelneraymusic well, it is fascinating in its purest sense.

I like to think of it as an exhibition of symmetrical ignorance!

@@quintonking9960 That's a-bout right.

I agree -- love the look of the L-00

Very similar body size, different sound of course, Martin vs Gibson sound. -Chad

I expect the CEO-7 has a longer scale length which would make all the difference.

As I recall, the B-25 was intended to be an entry level guitar with laminated sides. It didn’t sell as well as the more expensive LG-2, so they brought back the LG.

They are definitely the most hit or miss guitar manufacturer.

I play more meh martins than anything.. it’s rare I hear one that has a standout tone , but I think my ear just loves short scale

Agreed. and no strumming please.

Hii! The L00 Original or standard have less depth to the neck than does the 50s LG2. I've had several of both of em. Be well

I've had both... sold my L 00 and kept the LG-2. It's just a smidge more balanced overall to me, definitely bigger on the bottom end. The neck on the 50's is really great too...

000-28EC hands down.

No, the LG-2 is a chunky neck and L-00 is slim taper.

Pretty much what the CEO7 is based on, it’s a Gibson made by Martin. That’s part of what makes it so great. But, the longer scale and Adirondack top of the CEO7 makes them a completely different beast.

@Richard Lucas Cronley Yes, I am aware. I imagine that the wider nut of the CEO 7 would make more of a difference to most players than the 24.9 over the 24.75 scale length, but my wife would say "size matters"

CFM 4 is as much a plagiarist as is Bob Dylan.

?

Try a Collings C10 sometime. I have two with different tops. Love them both.

That's enough out of you professor

But they don't sound like a Gibson.

@MrStringpicker nothing is going to sound like a gibson,except a gibson. Of course duh... because they are gibsons. Not all consumers can afford an overpriced american made gibson,that is if there still is such a thing. The attraction of the eastman company products is that first of all they are affordable . Thier red spruce tops and torrifactions are more affordable than the big three other major producers. I got tired of gibson just being one way sbout thier products. Just about the same neck profile on all of thier guitars,and red dyed lacquer finish tops. I confess i am a sucker for a gibson banner j45 ,or j55 . Alot of the attraction of the gibson acoustics are adornments and the hype of bling. They are finally producing guitars that sound real good with red spruce tops,but the price is unbelievable,and on alot of them they still come out of the case with plastic bridge pins and shitty plastic ivorioid bindings. For what you pay for todays gibson ,there better not be any pladtic on them at all,and they better do everything short of walking and talking.

Fender does the same thing with current telecaster. Seems there's no such thing as an American Standard anymore...

They won’t stop as long as there’s demand for it

And consider Gibson's consistently inconsistent quality and obscene pricing.
