jtcappel Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I recently acquired a Gibson acoustic and I'm having some trouble identifying exactly what it is. The sticker on the inside says Hummingbird, but it doesn't have the hummingbird design on the pick guard. The pick guard is the same shape as the Hummingbirds I've seen on the internet. It also has pearl dot inlays on the fretboard for position markers instead of the double parallelogram inlays. I've been looking around on the internet for a while and found out that is is a '67 by searching the serial #, which is 050391. I thought it might be a J-45 with the wrong sticker, but it has the crown inlay on the headstock like a Hummingbird and I couldn't find any J-45's with this. I'm really curious about exactly what I have. If anyone can help me with any information about what it is or where I can find out, I would really appreciate it.

jtcappel Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 It looks just like a J-50 I saw online, except for the crown inlay on the headstock and it also has a bottom-belly bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
