  1. Can anyone help me track down an ES-339 in Ebony? They aren’t manufactured in that color anymore and I’m having a hard time finding one (that isn’t located overseas). I’m in the US. I actually found and bought a new one last week, but it unfortunately arrived damaged (bummer).
  2. Thanks for the help everyone Zombywoof was right on it. My friend took it down to the best shop in Charlotte and they identified it as a 1951 LG-1. They are doing a bit of work on it to get it playable again. Thanks!
  3. His wife picked up the guitar today, but he hasn’t laid eyes on it. She gave him the number from inside and I ran it through the Gibson serial number decoder. It checks back to a 1936 model made in Kalamazoo. Will probably have it authenticated by a pro to be sure. Certainly may have had aftermarket work through the years. Thanks for the help!
  4. I could really use some help identifying an old Gibson for a friend. His elderly aunt said this was he fathers guitar and it has been sitting in their basement. He doesn’t have it in-hand yet, so we don’t have detailed info about the condition. However, her son sent this picture. It sure looks to me like an old J-45, but I don’t know what year. The tuners look interesting, but the real distinguishing feature is the one-piece double-sided pickguard. I’ve never seen one like it and can’t even find a picture online of something similar. My friend isn’t looking to sell it, I’m just helping him get some info so he knows what he has and can insure it, if necessary. Thanks in advance!
