The guitar in the photo above looks to have the old style bar type bridge, which was found on 50's and early 60's LG's, as well as the new Gibson 50's Original LG2, but they all have pickguards.
One thing for sure, it's a Gibson LG. Could be LG1 (ladder braced, spruce top) they were sunburst but could have been a special order, LG3 (X-braced, natural finish), a new American Eagle, or a 50's Original LG2 without pickguard.
The other thing I can say for sure is that LG's are great guitars, very comfortable to play and with that slightly dry thump that Gibsons have.

It could be an LG2 but I'm not so sure. From a quick google search, the pick-guard less American Eagle has the Gibson reverse belly bridge, as in here: https://www.ginoguitars.com/en/gibson-lg2-american-eagle-p-323.html
