E-minor7 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Aaarrhhh, , , exciting. Guess = Not a Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I do like me those French Heel necks. But I suck at guessing games anyway and white top and back binding and no center back strip does not narrow it down much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard McCoy Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 So far no hits. It's definitely a Gibson, though. Perhaps this helps a bit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbiii Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Here are some early French heels and back binding. 31 L-2 1935 Jumbo 1935 RSRG Not this -- 1936 Jumbo35 -- no binding I don't think it is old -- the wood looks new and odd to me.

zombywoof Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) If you go back to the 1930s, a French Heel neck would not narrow it down much. Edited February 20, 2023 by zombywoof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 You're gonna love that walnut. I know I sure do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J185cat Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Man I was ready to think that was RW. Guess i have just not seen a lot of walnut B/S guitars. Absolutely beautiful and looking forward to the reports. I really need to try a walnut git and see what I think. Lot of good feedback from those that have.

aliasphobias Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 That was easy, wish I'd have gotten here earlier. Was there a prize for the winner? I can probably find something around here to kick in if Leon can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was condescending towards walnut back and sides in the past, so I put my money where my big mouth is. Let's see how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard McCoy Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 The winner (@RvrDxn) receives a set of 24-carat gold strings (.012 gauge) if they want it. Free shipping of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
