Need help identifying a Gibson.


Recommended Posts

Someone had given me a guitar in which had been spray painted and was a little rough but I sanded it down and found that it was a Gibson. It looks similar to the Gibson WRC but has binding. It has 4 toggle switches which I'm not sure are for. All the hardware had been removed when I got it but I still have it. It's not a finished project yet. Only part of the finish I left intact is the Gibson logo.

Looks like it could be an early U-2 model. Some of these had the pointed headstock prior to adopting the Explorer rounded headstock.

I agree. Here's a US-1 to show the slightly more expensive modle. Fantastic guitars.
