ksdaddy Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I have no idea what this is supposed to fit. All I can tell you is that it is a Gibson product. The J200 guard is just for comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALD323 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Not sure, but it has a Fender look to my eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Whatever guitar is it had one heck of a soundhole or a whole lot of purfling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucebubs Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Unlike the J200 guard, the back portion between the bridge and sound hole looks like it fits under half the strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Shape looks like a GIBSON SJ-200 WESTERN CLASSIC but the pearloid throws it off. Edited December 25, 2020 by Dave F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Looks like the mystery has been solved. I know for a fact his was made in Bozeman but I had no clue what model. No idea how it actually came to be. I may be able to flesh out the story in time. Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Im not mistakin those pearoid guards were on a limited run of Acoustics. Ive seen those before. Im just trying to remember the models they were applied to.

ksdaddy Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 I heard back from the person that would know of such things. He said several of these guards were made years ago in Bozeman and the variation of the model that would have sported this guard did not make it past "the talking stage". I collect stuff like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I thought it was half of a toilet seat. But I have failed every Rorshach Test devised by man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
