GUEST,Glen Reid Gibson question (31) RE: Gibson question 04 Sep 03


When I was about 15, a family friend gave me his old 1948 Gibson J45 (southern Jumbo).
Being young and foolish I done some things to it that today relegate it to my "wall of shame", but thats another story.
I have never seen another Gibson quite like this one, in that it had a sunburst finish(about an inch thick), with a reverse belly bridge, a small martin style pickguard and double paralellogram position markers.
Unlike others I have seen of this vintage (re: the one seen in a lot of old Hank Williams photo,s), mine had the old style Gibson script on the headstock, which was just a silk screen application.
I keep wanting to restore it to its former self, but so far there it hangs, as a contant reminder of my youthfull follies.
Cheers, Glen
