PTL Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hi all, This is my 2nd post after my introduction :-) I'm look at an Old Dove (buyer did not provide much info) with the TOM bridge. Claimed that he's selling it for a friend & asking for abt USD 1K I did googled to try to get more info n i notice that :- 1) this bridge is extra tall that those images I'd seen (Top edge near soundhole to the pointy tip after bridge pin. 2) there is a recess on both left n right wings where the 2 mirrored MOP were inlaid 3) the usual 2 MOP dots were missing in this one 4) any idea did Gibson produce such 'TALL' bridge? if yes, what year or era is it from? I'm a noob with old Gibson acoustic, any input will be much appreciated. Thank You :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCowboy Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Interesting bridge - I have a couple notions about it, but want to verify w/someone who worked at Gibson while the TOM was current before saying anything. It would be helpful to have more data: photos of headstock back/front,a clear image of the interior label, fingerboard width at the nut, and maybe a photo of the guitar's back. A serial number would help as well (what and where found on guitar, as well as any additional markings). Meanwhile, will see what I can find and get back w/you when I can.... Just now, I'm thinking fake - just so you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
