gearbasher Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Since you posted it in the acoustic section and it has a crown fret marker, my guess is a J-200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoidealmusic Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'd second the J-200 guess, though I'm not sure why anyone would do that to a J-200! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Not enough strings, but those curly headstocks usually came on Mandolins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBSinTo Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 What was that slogan they used to put on their headstocks? " Only a Gibson is ugly enough" Feh. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwlsky Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 The headstock looks like it got caught in a meat slicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoidealmusic Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 This just makes me sad. I'll take the blue guitar or any of the others we've discussed. This is just wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Somehow that headstock style looks good on an F-Style Mando....and ugly on a guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Lzzy Hale might want that headstock on her next signature Explorer guitar, but it has no place on a (S)J-200. How much would that sell for if it was the one David Gilmour owned that is being sold now on Reverb? https://reverb.com/item/56288345-1985-gibson-j-200-celebrity-david-gilmour-collection Edited July 21, 2022 by Sgt.

DanvillRob, Nothing new here. If you peruse any expensive guitar listings on ebay, Reverb, or wherever, you'll see this is the norm. Everything is sold a la carte. Nickel-diming without shame if there is extra money to be extracted from the buyer is the new philosophy of many sellers. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if you have a quarter mil to spend on a guitar, $150 for shipping wouldn't phase you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
