Tedster Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Generally have seen that logo on the big hollowbody archtops and also on some of their acoustics...including banjos and mandolins. Don't see it too often on their other instruments. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasticsound Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 The Gibson was a popular Gibson logo in the 1920's and before, I believe. A quick look in the Gruhn Guide to Vintage Guitars will answer your question. If you don't want to track down a copy, call 1-800-4GIBSON and ask for Drew. He (or any other Gibson Customer Support rep) will gladly look it up for you. It's been a few years since I looked that up. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

fantasticsound Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Understood, but the Gruhn Guide often notes recent reissues that use certain retro features. I don't know when George and/or Walter Carter (Longtime Gibson historian and co-author) updated the listings to account for recent reissues. Also, the custom shops sometimes make instruments with features otherwise unavailable, although this is more common in Nashville with electric instruments than Montana acoustics. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
