Based on on this page http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=60715332&blogId=218177625, these were low-end instruments almost certainly not built by Gibson. Elderly had a cheap "The Michigan" banjo that they conjectured was built in England. (The Elderly page also mentions that B&SL, the sole distributor of "The Michigan", was based in Toronto.) Might be worth a look in Gruhn's Guide. The name alone isn't any reason to think the guitar was built in Michigan. E.g., Oahu Hawaiian guitars were built in Cleveland. -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
