I bought this a while back, hoping to have time to fix it up, but that time never came.
As you can see, it needs some TLC. Before the Jack fell apart, I plugged it in, tapped the pickup, and it sounded like it worked but had grounding issues. I think it just needs wiring but I don’t know for sure. I put a few strings on it and I have to say, it is an amazingly resonant piece of mahogany. The whole thing weighs just 4 lbs.
The case is nice ( if a bit large, I can’t imagine that it isn’t original to the guitar) but one corner is pretty punky. One of the knobs is cloudy and broken on the inside but still functions well.
Before I part it out on eBay, I’ll sell it for $300+ shipping.

Looks like the postwar "racetrack" (or "wide-oval") pickup, the one Gibson used before they came out with the P-90 circa 1951. |
