About this listing
I am offering here a Gibson “LG-2” 1928 L-1 Blues Tribute from 2013, a crafted in Bozeman, Montana (USA), small-body acoustic guitar in the style of the 1920s L-Series models, featuring a compact 12-fret parlor design, resonant Adirondack Red Spruce top over a Traditional X-bracing, back and sides made of mahogany, set mahogany neck with “V” neck profile and 44.9mm bone nut, elegant Indian rosewood fingerboard with classic mother-of-pearl dot inlays, as well as classic Vintage 3-on-a-strip nickel tuners in a radiant Faded Vintage Sunburst high-gloss nitro finish with single-ply cream binding in excellent condition, including black Gibson luxury hardshell case, manufacturer’s paperwork, and professional setup with 12-53 Elixir 80/20 strings.This “LG-2” 1928 L-1 Blues Tribute, crafted in Bozeman, Montana (USA), follows the design specifications of the iconic 1920s Small Body L-Series models. The guitar features the characteristic parlor shape—which is even smaller than a classic concert model—and a neck-to-body transition at the 12th fret. This not only ensures exceptionally smooth playability (“couch guitar”) but also delivers the woody growl you’d expect from a blues guitar.The select Adirondack Red Spruce top resonates—despite the body size—with noticeable clarity and volume over the Traditional X-bracing, and a solid mahogany body complements the sound with warm mids. The guitar thus delivers the sought-after focused mid-range tone, which is ideal for any style of picking and especially for blues.A sound sample of this model can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.The neck features a special, slightly thicker “V” profile that fits perfectly in the hand and, together with the 635mm scale length and the wide 44.9mm bone nut, guarantees extremely comfortable playability.Visually, the instrument immediately impresses with its timeless, smoothly transitioning Faded Vintage Sunburst nitro high-gloss finish, and lovingly crafted details such as the single-ply body bindings and the mother-of-pearl inlays on the fretboard and headstock complement it perfectly.If you want to play the blues like the blues legend Robert Johnson and aren’t looking for a signature model, this guitar is exactly what you’re looking for!Technical Specifications:Origin: Bozeman, MT, USAYear Built: 2013Body Shape: 12-Fret ParlorTop: Adirondack Spruce (solid)Bracing: Traditional X-BracingBack / Sides: Mahogany (solid)Neck: Mahogany, set-inNeck Profile: “V”Fingerboard: Indian rosewood with dot mother-of-pearl inlaysFingerboard radius: 12”Frets: 19Nut: 44.9 mm, boneBridge: Traditional rectangle rosewood bridge with bone inlayTuners: Vintage open-gear 3-on-a-strip nickelBody binding: Cream, 1-plyRosette: Concentric ringsFinish: Faded Vintage Sunburst high-gloss, nitrocelluloseScale length: 635 mmSerial No.: 12533061Special feature: Gibson incorrectly labeled this guitar; it says “LG-2 Blues Tribute” instead of “1928 Blues Tribute”Includes a black Gibson deluxe case, manufacturer’s paperwork, leather strap, and case candyThe Gibson 1928 L-1 Blues Tribute is no longer manufactured and has become rare.This guitar is in excellent condition and plays flawlessly.
