See the quotes below from the full Premier Guitar review:
"Immaculate Conception … and Execution
Like the original LG-2, the American Eagle is a compact guitar—just 14.25" wide at the bass bout. It features a classic, all-solid tonewood combination of Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fretboard and bridge."
"Simple mother-of-pearl dot markers adorn the fretboard, and a pair of similar dots is inlaid on the signature Gibson belly-up bridge. A simple rosette, multi-ply top binding, and single-ply back binding, as well as the same headstock logo that first appeared on late-’40s LGs tie the new LG-2 to its modest mid-century beginnings."
"Little Tone Machine
Small and light, the LG-2 is easy to get acquainted with and a joy to hold. Equipped with light-gauge strings and a factory-set action of 4/64" on the first string at the 12th fret, and 6/64" for the sixth, the guitar feels pretty close to perfect right out of the case. The neck has a traditional-feeling V shape but feels a lot less cumbersome and more playable than the baseball-bat-like profiles on some originals. The slightly shorter 24 3/4" scale will be familiar to players who favor Gibson electrics and most of the company’s acoustics, and the 1.725" nut—while not a fingerstyle-ideal 1.75"—provides ample room for fingerpicking while also being hospitable to chords with thumb-fretted bass notes."
"One of the biggest differences between the American Eagle and its forebears is that it’s equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element pickup. The system is more inconspicuous than most: It has a 1/4" endpin jack and a single volume knob tucked discreetly inside the soundhole. The pickup is sonically unobtrusive, as well. Plugged into a Fender Acoustasonic amp or a DAW, the guitar sounds full and organic and has little of the noise and artificiality that tends to plague many undersaddle pickups. The bass sounds ample with-out being tubby, and the trebles clear and present."
"The Verdict
With the LG-2 American Eagle, Gibson has successfully revisited one of its entry-level flattops, respectfully incorporating many of its original constructional and cosmetic de-tails while making it friendlier to the modern player. While it’s an absolute peach of an instrument by any measure, it’s also a pretty reasonable deal by Gibson standards—particularly given how original specimens of this onetime sleeper have escalated in value."
