The Sparrow reminds me of the J60 that Gibson made. I wonder if its the same specs. You do post some interesting guitars.

yup. It was in the Cremona series archtops from the 30s. I owned a Clipper with the airplane engraved guard and one very similar to this guard. , I got both of those from collector out of Post Falls Idaho . They were pretty cool.

I owned a Harmony that had a pickguard like that.

There probably the same. Its just the marketing name that sets those apart. A J45 is a J45.

They are a Nice guitar.

I would plug it into a amp and see if it works. If it doesnt work then it requires a internal power supply. Then you know what it will require.

For a 63 year. I dont think preamps or a battery box existed. Have you tried plugging in the guitar?

Good question.

That is a cool guitar. Great find.

All the clears they use have a yellow tint , even the Mohawk clear I use. Over time between the resins in the wood and the clear. You will see the cast of yellow get darker.

J100s are good guitars. Owned a few over the years.

I an bad for having a large collection. At one point I was buying everything in sight. It has slowed down on the buying. Now its been weeding out what I dont like. we will see where that goes.

I did something similar to a New D45 I owned. So your not alone.

Not a bad looking guitar. Nick Lucas inlays.

Not a bad looking guitar. Looks decent as well.
