Hey guys. Im really curious as to why this neck block is off-center. Anyone know if thats unusual?

What gauge strings should I use for this guitar?

Yea I was wondering that too. The "splice cleat" (i guess its called?) is centered with the guitar, but the strange part is the neck block seams to be slightly L shaped and has more mass on the top side as you hold the guitar to play it. Thats why is looks off center. Why is this?

Well, I am going to take my "1946 LG-2" to the Gibson factory an hour away in Bozeman. A guy buy the name of Ren Ferguson is who they told me to talk to. We'll see what he says.

Yea they are. Thanks a lot for the help guys. I have been trying to figure this thing out for a while. Compared to the other guitars on Gbase, this one is definitely in better than average shape.

Most of the 46's i see have black pegs instead of white, is that important at all?

Yes but does that happen on original guitars or could someone have tampered with it? The dripping I mean.

I dont know what this drippy looking stuff is on the part of the neck inside the body though: I used a mirror to take a picture of the top X part: Here is the bottom through the hole:

Is it worth any money?

Here is a picture:

Also about 25" from bridge to nut and 17" long fretboard.
