Description
1920s Gibson Type O acoustic guitar with original case. This guitar has seen some days being played, it is missing the pick guard but appears to be of all original parts otherwise. The neck has been reattached at some time with evidence of covered screws between the nut and the first tuner. The headstock was then heavily lacquered which made the inlaid The Gibson and fleur de lis A bit harder to see but they are still clearly visible. The body is in nice shape and it has been restrung with DAddario tens and the guitar projects loudly and sounds fantastic. The binding along the top edge of the fretboard appears to have some replacements as well as some missing pieces. The binding along the bottom edge of the fretboard has some issues but they are way up at the 18th fret and higher. overall, I would recommend having the binding completely replaced around the front board. The rest of the bindings on the guitar are solid and look fine. I do not see any other issues are, it holds a tune very well and like I said sounds phenomenal. I believe the serial number is 48907 although it could be 48007. Made by the Gibson-Mandolin guitar company in Kalamazoo Michigan. The original hard case has lots of issues but still stays together around the edges. The original handle is inside the case but has been detached for some time now.
