Cary Dilloway Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have a Gibson nylon string S/N 54365 the S/N tag inside the body says it's C-O Classical but it has two white pickguards which would indicate that its really a F-25 Folksinger. Looking up the serial number online says it was manufactured in 1962 but I can't find any information for a 1962 Nylon Stringed F-25. All the F-25 folksinger guitars I can find are metal stringed. I'm confused as to just what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 It's probably a C-0 with golpeadores added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 To the OP, golpedores are sometimes added to the tops of Spanish-style guitars both to protect tops and serve as amplifiers for Flamenco players who use a lot of percussive blows ("golpes", in Spanish) on the body of their guitars while playing. So essentially, this is a CO set up for Flamenco-style playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustystrings Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Those are probably Herco golpe plates. They sold a lot of those in the 60s and they were found in shops for decades after that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
