There's something different about the Gibson LG-2. 

Man, keep up the great work! Loving this channel so far. I've got a 66 LG-1 that someone at some point converted to an LG-2 with X-bracing...funky guitar, but love it. These old Gibson small bodies are amazing little machines.

I read in a book about old Gibsons, maybe Spann's book? I don't remember, but the author was saying back in the 30s and 40s there were only three guys doing the bursts, so you could tell which guy was bursting your guitar just by looking at the size and shape of the burst because they made their own templates to work with.

Nice, thanks. I've got a 2016 J-15 that I bought new at local guitar store. It's an absolutely gorgeous full gloss walnut guitar with a maple neck and a Sitka spruce top. It was advertised as "sustainable". Obviously no shortage of walnut. The only thing I had done was a bone nut and saddle, and a replacement pick guard from Gibson because the original thick pick guard delaminated off. now it's got a spec tear drop Gibson pick guard, the regular thin one. All work was done by the guitar stores repair shop, best in town. This thing plays beautifully. When I was shopping in the store's acoustic room I compared several Gibson models including a couple of J-45s and I liked the J-15 better. The only thing I didn't like about it were the Mini Grover Rotomatics, but I've gotten used to them and will keep the guitar original. Couldn't beat the price either, think I paid 1300 US after the store discount.

Lovely video, Kyle. Man, how'd you get such cool lighting?

LG-2 have the wood strip running down the middle of the back inside of the Guitar, which is clearly visible looking in the sound hole. The LG-1's don't have that strip

Thanks!

gosh dang, that thing sounds incredible. i've got an IRIS OG, torrefied adi over mahogany on order, which is modeled after this guitar. great, informative vid / RAD play out .. .
