I have absolutely no use for this but I’m losing a lot of sleep over it. I wish you’d sell it before I make up something I need it for. 😂

A previous owner of my '48 replaced the original leg sockets with modern screw in ones. I usually play standing up, and they work fine.

Do you prefer the tone with the higher pitched stringing, or just find it maps better to common keys?
I play in a 5 piece band, and I think that the higher tuning sits in the mix better. |

I use a C13 tuning like yours, but I use an octave high Bb for the last note, just a half step higher than the 4th string A. | |

From what I've read, the Console Grande had 3 legs in 1948 and 49, then switched to 4.
I have a '48 7/8 that's also been converted to more modern legs. Great guitar! |

Gibson also made 7 string steels before WWII.
