A Gibson guitar with a Gibson mandolin headstock?

[62burst 144]

 

This guitar was at Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville: link.

 

A search turns up very little info: apart from the Southern gospel Ganus Brothers Quartet, there was a Ganus Brothers Musical Instruments store in Birmingham, Alabama c. 1930?

 

Anyone up for a reissue of this one?

That's pretty funky. Gibson seemed to cater a fair amount to artist requests back in the day.

Way cool! And those stars on the fingerboard, pre Everly Bros.
