The 1947 Gibson LG Acoustic Script Logo is a stunning vintage example from Gibson’s golden era of small body acoustics. Purchased directly from Norman’s Rare Guitars in America, this instrument captures the authentic character of post-war Gibson craftsmanship, delivering a warm, balanced, and nuanced tone that perfectly suits fingerstyle, blues, and folk.
The body features a sunburst finish, with a solid spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, offering a responsive dynamic range and a tone full of vintage character. Its mahogany neck with nitro finish and a generously rounded profile typical of the late 1940s, combined with a rosewood fingerboard with 19 frets and a 45.3 mm bone nut, ensures excellent comfort and playability.
The rosewood bridge and the original tuners preserve the instrument’s integrity and historic value, while the single-ply tortoise pickguard enhances its classic aesthetic. Strung with 12-53 gauge strings and weighing only 1.75 kg, this LG delivers a surprisingly wide and powerful projection for such a compact body.
Supplied with its case and certificate of authenticity, this 1947 Gibson LG is a rare collector’s piece that carries the voice and charm of a truly unique era in acoustic guitar history.
