Subject: RE: Tech: Strings for old Gibson LG-2
If it were mine, I would take it to a trusted luthier familiar with such instruments and have the top and bridge inspected for strength and ask for a recommendation. If they are okay, I'd say Light gauge would be fine and would probably increase your volume. Mediums might put too much stress on the bridge, but that's nothing a good re-glue wouldn't fix. How old is the guitar?
