mnesa018 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Can anyone recognize this giataru. I inherited it from my grandfather. He bought in 1954. The guitar is bad retaurirana 1987 and then painted over. At the top it said Gibson guitars. I hope that you will help me to determine what this type of guitar.

Jon S. Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 It doesn't appear to be a Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Nope, not even close! I doubt if this is even a Chicago built guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmusic Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 +1 Gibson never had a headstock or inlays like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Very old Gretsch (non-electric) Archtops, had a very similar headstock. But, as of yet, I've not found one, with that type of fret markers. Although, in the photo, some of them look to be painted on (by the owner?). So...??? Could be a cheap copy, of a Gretsch, too??? The back of, the headstock to neck transition, looks more "Asian" made, to me. But, who knows? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
