Hello, I inherited this guitar from my grandpa 10 years ago. According to my dad, my grandpa bought the guitar around World War 2 and had it his entire life. I did a little research when I first got it an d thought it was a Gibson L-50 Archtop acoustic from 1943, but I could be wrong. It doesn't have anything written on it except for some raised letters/numbersĀ on the back of the headstockĀ "EG-5548" that I didn't see until now. Any help in identifying what year will help our family pinpoint this guitar in the story of his life. Thank you in advance.
