4) Could have been sent back to the factory for a new neck and pick guard 😉
Maybe it's a Banner guitar!

Thanks for chiming in.
It could very well be. I realized that the reason I thought it was a 1952 was an article I had read over a decade ago in Guitar International. She had mentioned that her grandfather had given her a 1952 in mint condition that she liked for recording sessions. I didn't think Gibson used that style of pick guard until a decade or so later.
That said, 1) I could be way wrong, and 2) that may not be the guitar she was talking about in the article.
It does have a very nice sound though.
3) Grandpa could had switched pick guards

I had similar issues when looking for a Super 400 case

I tried the tip cleaners and did not care for them.
I had the guys in the shop wire cut saw teeth in the feeler gages and they work great. I also had them do a set of ignition feeler gages that work great for bridge pin slots.

I’ve been wondering about the indifference to the damage, and I think you are on to something… rather than paying their own luthiers to fix them, I wonder if they are relying on the buyers shipping them back to Gibson under the warranty as QC issues. However, I would think 20 guitars all needing the same repair from the same vendor location might raise the antenna at the mothership.
Don't know about this GC, but I have a friend that works at the one close to me. They're told to not worry about the guitars. Let the kids bang on them. As an employee, you would have to get numb about them. I doubt if any of them are qualified to repair cracks. Any repairs would need submitted to Gibson for approval. Also, they usually have one in the back untouched in a box or can get you one within a few days

Martin sure charges a lot for their Uke's.
George Harrison was supposed to be proficient on a Uke.
They do get a bit pricey

The LC is pretty snazzy.

You could try a thinner gauge just to see if that solves it. If it does then get the slots sized for the gauge you like.

Could be a few things. First thing I would check is the nut slots. If they're too snug the strings can hang up.

I suppose you could M2M order any color you want, but that would require one to buy a new Gibson guitar which eliminates 80% of the members.

I think one of my L00's has a little pizza (Murph)
Herring bone binding, bound fingerboard, head stock inlay.

I had a double neck. Not a Gibson but Gretsch. It was made for a much younger man. Too heavy to stand with and too big to sit with. It was nice looking.

I've been through about 150 guitars in my lifetime. Currently, no regrets. Getting ready for another herd thinning.

Did you change your style and start wearing corduroy pants 😀

Pictures would help and if you post it in the Acoustic lounge, there are quite a few mandolin players there.
Welcome to the forum.

Hope my family doesn't find out I have a few Gibsons. They ain't aikin to any hoity-toity attitude.

John,
Wishing you the best and enjoy every day. One of my older brothers is on that journey too.

I had a M2M L00 12 fret built. The neck off the J45 12 fret is what I spec’d for it.
Who Can Identify This Gibson?

I think I need a new guitar rack. I do have a couple rotating trees that hold 8 each, but I like this one in Terri's office.
