J-200 Koa Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Seems pretty straightforward and above reproach: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1955-GIBSON-COUNTRY-WESTERN-Acoustic-Needs-Major-R-R-HSC-/361883094135?hash=item5441e9cc77:g:2KgAAOSw-0xYVNq8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Firewood A Gibson Firewood - yes, they show op now and again. At the other hand, , , could the body come to life and begin singing through a new neck. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Neil Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I expect many will disagree but I have never been that impressed with vintage Gibsons. All my favorites have been particular examples of new guitars. There has been the rare exception (a particular 1938 L-00 springs to mind - another one from the same year wasn't) but mosty just overpriced, beaten up, smelly, dead wood for mine. Sorry...

j45nick Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Not worth the trouble or cost, unless you happen to have a neck sitting around and want to develop your luthier skills. There are too many much better options. (This coming from a guy who loves to rescue orphan guitars.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Surely, things look much better on the inside (underneath the sparkle overspray). For the glass half-full people: Gibson neck on eBay, sold (. . . wondering what the neck pocket even looks like, &/or is filled with, on this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassetman Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Anyone have an off the cuff estimate on repairs? What of the chances it's a dog after being fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 LOL That is good, The bird house that is. I agree not worth what it will take to restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
