  1. Yes thats right - Belly up bridge. Currently the action has risen slightly - trying to dehumidify and considering a refret as these are really low- as you suggest they've been recrowned and polished quite a few times in the past. Thanks for your interest and info as always
  2. Thanks Nick ---FON 1017-22
  3. I am about to refret the 1948 beauty - any frets that are most suitable? I take it large jumbo fretwire is not desirable
  4. I have a 50s alligator case Gibson. The handle brackets remain in place but no handle. Does anyone have a link to where I can obtain a suitable handle/ bracket. (cant upload photos for some reason)
  5. Light or Medium strings on a vintage J45. and what then D'addarios, Pearse DR or what...(I know its a personal choice...just wondering)
  6. What was the fabric around the X bracing centre - original or evidence of a previous repair? Currently trying to upload photos but failing
  7. Incredible and unbelievable how some companies just dont get it - what a marketing opportunity missed for Gibson. Lets hope the new management are more enlightened. We musnt give up hope!
  8. You're welcome - really enjoyed the life stories as much as the factual details. How about a new venture "The Post Banner Ledgers" ?
  9. Has any of you guys ever contacted Gibson with a view to examining and recording for posterity, for owners and for players some of these post war ledgers? The Post Banner Ledgers - theres another book jt...If not, anyone up for the task? They can only say no (why???)
  10. The dot on the i in Gibson is connected to the G - so definately no later than 51 the tapered headstock also confirms this, The FON 1017-22 would suggest 1947? Anyone know why Gibson are so reluctatant to share Shipping Ledgers as described in the fabulous The Kalamazoo Gals book? Maybe they dont exist but I would be suprised if thats the case.
  11. Without taking the tuners off the headstock, the only thing I can decipher on the back of each tuner is the word Deluxe. I wonder of these were replacements for similar originals some years ago?
  12. Thanks Guys for some really informative posts - you have exceeded all my expectations!!!!
  13. Thanks JT. "A rose by any date would smell just as sweet" (Well almost!)
