1943 Gibson Banner LG-2 Adirondack Spruce Top

This outstanding early 1943 Banner Gibson LG-2 (FON 2131-14) represents a prime early wartime example, featuring a golden-era two-piece Adirondack spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides. Offered in excellent condition, this guitar retains remarkable structural integrity while showcasing a wonderfully unique touch of history: a vintage 1950s folk art deco waterslide decal applied to the soundboard, giving it a truly one-of-a-kind visual character. The top and soundhole rosette feature refined multi-ply purfling trim, adding a level of decorative detail seldom seen on standard Banner LG-2 production runs. Built right as wartime material adjustments were taking shape, its no truss rod sturdy neck profile couples with the legendary stiffness of red spruce to yield a remarkably loud, articulate, and punchy voice. Crisp string separation and immediate dynamic response give this small-body powerhouse exceptional note clarity that cuts effortlessly. Comes with cool Calton case.
