onewilyfool Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 I guess I should have specified "STEEL STRING"......I'm pretty sure I've not seen a steel string slot head...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Mmmmm, yeah.... I don't know if I've seen a slot head steel string Gibson. I've seen the exact opposite, a gut string with a solid head, the GS series, forerunner of the C series classicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Yes, very early in its history, Gibson built slothead, steel string guitars. You can see 2 of them in Tony Bacon's book, The History of the american Guitar. I've played one of the 2 in that book and a nice guitar it was. AFAIK, Gibson has not built a steel string slothead since about 1906. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
