  1. Seems to work very well. Picture selection does not work. Not a big deal. edit within the three upper right dots.
  2. I would have a hard time letting that go of, if I owned it.
  3. That should be a 2001. J200jrs were 92 93 guitars. Do you have the serial number? If Im not mistakin the j200 mini was designed and sold as a limited run EmmiLou Harris guitar at first. I have never owned one. But I think its smaller than the J185 sized guitar which the j200jrs were based off of. I could be wrong.
  4. Sometimes its just not about value. But more whats more versitile and popular.
  5. There just a more popular guitar. those others you mentioned are good guitars. Just not as good. yours a single or double p90?
  6. Es 330 is a better guitar . es225s are okay. I would just buy a 125, 150, or 225. And keep the 330. Otherwize to your question. I think you would be making a mistake .
  7. https://imgur.com/wNjiUSq https://imgur.com/i4n3XP0 Its a 2 page brochure from 1993 of the options you could request from the custom shop , Every custom shop guitar at that time came with a certificate and a leather case cover .
  8. You should fit the guitar to the case before you get it restored. Reason. One. Thats a Redline Case , You could possibly sell that case as is for 300 .00 or a little more and actually find a actual Gibson case that will fit your guitar. The mid 60s cases are out there.
  9. Thats a Archtop Gieb case. Have you fit the guitar to that case?
  10. I have the same issue uploading. Most here suggest imgur for a photo hub. Something like photobucket. But no fees involved yet.
  11. $1000.00 to 1200.00. Thats what I would be in the range of offering .
  12. If its a Geib redline case. Your guitar may not fit. Is it a round bottom or bell bottom case? Thin waist? Or? Was the case for a dreadnaught Martin? Post a picture if you can.
  13. It should be a black case with Gold fun fur lining and a Gibson plaque by the handle. A Heritage is the same as a Hummingbird, Square shoulder SJ.
  14. Hi... what are you refering too?? there are no decals for serial numbers. unless its a mid 70s.
  15. Hi. Very hard to say. Probably the best thing to do is take it to a music store and ask what they will give you for it. Then tack on 25 to 30 % that would be there sell price to the customer. Then look at the average price of a 74 Hummingbird on the selling sites. It will give you a fair idea. I have a 21 Gibson A4 here. With a fine heal crack. I am going on a limb thinking its worth half of a Nice one. Its a player at this point. A decent player. But not a collectible value in its state.
  16. I can think of alot of makers that never got attention. But that does not mean there guitars are not good. I dont think most have found them yet. In time, they will. its all personal preference.
  17. I dont see anything wrong with that at all. It looks fine. actually thats a nice grained top. Nice 45.
  18. Those old U.S . Guilds are workhorses. There great guitars. And Well built. They may have not had the popularity But out of the three brands. The Guilds had the least issues. I like Gibson , Martin , Old Guilds brands. Myself. As well as the Franklin Acoustics at one point from Sandpoint ID .
  19. Back then you could order a Gibson acoustic with a different finish I did that with J45s and Doves. Those at that time were either burst or natural tops. I requested ebony finishes. A little up charge , but they were not designated as special or custom orders .
  20. Pins are plastic , not sure if the had dots in the middle though. They should be a off white in color.
