A-00 or something else?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm trying to find out the year and model of this mando I just bought. From everything that I can find, it seems to be an A-00, but I'm not sure. I've read from numerous sources the same quote that they were only oval-holed for one year, 1933, but I know Gibson history is full of exceptions. It has a carved back, and decoration on the inside rim of the soundhole, with a bound top and dark sunburst. The finish is a look-alike of my 34' L-50 (which has the dimensions of an L-30). I'm figuring mid 1930's to '42. Any advice? The link below is to the page I bought it from (for $600!), with pictures.
