fp Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Real nice looking SJ and rare to see a 55 with a small guard ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotTheSilver Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Really nice. Looks like a very early '55 before they switched to the large guard and the unscalloped braces, so basically '54 specs (though I am not an expert). If I only had the coin right now...

zombywoof Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 It is not like at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 1955 the specs on all Gibsons immediately changed. A good friend of mine owns a '55 C&W which staill has the small pickguard and old style bracing. Gotta say though that price tag seems kinda high for a '55.

Dealers sure seem to be asking high dollar for vintage Martins and Gibsons. Hence the reason I buy from a private party when buying used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
