MorrisrownSal Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The guys at Brothers in Wind Gap PA restored this.... pretty cool. Anyone ever even heard of this model, or own one? https://imgur.com/gallery/Eam8H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 It's a strange one. Could they have it wrong? Probably not. Nice work, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojorule Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I think this model has been subject to threads here before. John Thomas and Tom will surely be able to confirm with authority, but I'm pretty sure that it is a Gibson, and that the slotted headstock is genuine too. If memory serves, in fact, one of the threads featuring this model was about whether Gibson had ever made guitars with slotted headstocks. A lot of members rather fancied this one. One appears on this thread from OMGF: http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/148096/First-14-fret-flattop-guitar#.WDb8NLKLTIU Another spot here: http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/118638#.WDb9rLKLTIU And another: http://robertcorwin.com/Gibson06_Style0.html And hello Tom...

62burst Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Buc- the imgur photo from "Bother's" Music {Sal; Rich and Strunkie are pretty laid back, but you really should correct your typo : 0 ! } Could you imagine a J-45 or variant (Smeck/Radio Grande, etc.) being offered with a slot head? That would be "Custom Shop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Corrected! Those guys work on my guitars. Really warm fellas with all the knowledge and experience you would want to touch your guitars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
