Fender Bender Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 My neighbor brought over his fathers Gibson hollowbody and amp from WW 2 era. I am guessing they are from 1942 from what I could find on internet. Guitar plays very well for its age. He is wanting to sell but wants to know what he has. Looking for any help or possible buyer who is interested. Quote
afishynado Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Very cool. Would love to hear it. Could you post a short video? Edited November 21, 2022 by afishynado Quote
slimt Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 Nice set. I seen a set like yours in Kennewick Washington. Sitting in a display case. It had a nfs tag on both. Quote
Fender Bender Posted November 21, 2022 Author Posted November 21, 2022 Thanks, he is looking to sell and wants to know what year they both are and approx. what each would be worth. I gave the guitar back yesterday, but played it through my Carvin amp, had a real nice sound, pots worked perfectly, neck was in tune all the way up the board. Had to give it back so I wouldnt keep playing it! Dont need another guitar! Quote
