This war-era "Banner" LG-2 has made it through the last 73 years in great shape, with replaced tuner buttons and not a single crack. The previous owner had a new nut and saddle installed and the guitar plays like a dream! It does very well fingerpicked, but it's a surprisingly great guitar strummed and flatpicked as well. The smaller body and mahogany construction provide plenty of volume with the warmth and depth you can only find in an old mahogany guitar.
