I am by no means an expert on identifying guitars, so my opinion and $1 will get you on the bus.

 

But it appears to be a 100th anniversary model (serial number would indicate a '94), the label says one of one so a custom built unit, and the magic marker above the label "NAMM" would indicate it was built to take to the NAMM show in '94 and be displayed as part of the 100th anniversary exhibit. The mustache bridge and the pickguard are what is standard on a J200, but of course from the photo's can't really tell how big it is. If you say it is smaller than a usual J200 I have no reason to doubt you. It would appear to be a one off custom guitar celebrating the 100th anniversary of Gibson. M.R. Stranger would most likely be the person that did the art work on it.

 

Congratulations and hope you enjoy playing it.

Hello

No one else has further informations?

The person who owned the guitar before told me it´s a Gibson J-200 Junior and he got it from a well known guitar player in the USA.The initial of this Person are shown in the picture from the Lasso (Picture Nr 5)

For me it´s M.B.

Thanks Alexander
