Need help to identify this Gibson instrument


Recommended Posts

I would recommend contacting www.gruhn.com. The shape of the peghead and bridge are not typical of any Gibson model I have run into. The style of the gold logo appears newer than the instrument does. Gruhn is familiar with all makes and models of vintage instruments. The former Gibson Historian works with Gruhn, so if this happens to be an atypical instrument built by Gibson, they could let you know.

This is a logo that was used post WW11. The dot on the "I" does not touch the "G" and the "B" and "O" are open. The guitar is not a Gibson. They made nothing like it after the war or before for that matter. Looks like a fun little guitar. Shame somebody had the need to put the logo on it.

 

The late 40's logo had the dot on the "I" connected to the "G" and the "B" was closed. Mid 40's guitars used the thick script logo slanted on the peghead and the late 30's and before all used variations of the script these were straight across the peghead..
