I didn't know much about this guitar when I bought it and to be honest, I still don't. I do believe I found the exact guitar on reverb though at a link that I can provide if you message me as ebay will not allow me to provide the link in this description. That guitar sold for $975. This guitar did play when plugged in at the time of purchase about 2 years ago with no issues and it has a cool sound. I have not plugged it in since and cannot guarantee it plays, but it has just been hanging on a wall since, so it should be good. I was told by the person I purchased from that it was a 1929 or 1930 Gibson, but I was never able to confirm that. I also have more photos and can also provide a link to what I think is a video of the same model being played on YouTube. This bid is for a guitar that is being sold as is. There will be no returns available, so you need to know that you want it. Thanks and happy bidding.
