Have a Acoustic Gibson Guitar 12 String Flat Top. Model number b35 832. I've been trying to find a price on it at your website and have been unable to do so. Could you please help me in finding out how much it is worth.

Hello,
In 1971, I had Gibson build me a non-cutaway Super 400, which I added a DeArmond detachable floating pickup to. I payed $1350.00 for the guitar! I had to wait 6 months for it's arrival. It was the most beautiful guitar I've ever owned, and it sounded beautiful too! But in my quest to find guitars with certain characteristics, I traded it after a few years. Moral of the story, never let go of a truly high quality instrument. Just add to the collection. Now, I couldn't afford another Super 400 to save my life!
On the other hand, who wants to have an extremely valuable guitar sitting on the bandstand during a break?

I'm looking for info on an OLD Gibson, so far think it was made in 1936, very little info on the guitar itself..F stop holes, B-26, headstock logo pearl inlaid GIBSON in script, all black, Braziian FB with pearl dots. Made in U.S.A. back of headstock, 3/inline tuners, trapeze tailpiece, elevated pickguard.

Anyone else have one like it?
Thanks!

I have a 94 Gibson blues king small body guitar.I don't like the sound from the under saddle pickup it came with.It sounds brassy.The problem is that the guitar has a volume and tone control on the top just like the Gibson J-160.Does anyone know what kind of acoustic pickup would I need that will work with both the volume and tone control pots on this guitar.The pickup in the guitar now is passive.The guitar is a centennial edition.I don't know if a passive soundhole pickup would work or not.I hope someone can help.
Thanks Mark
