These acoustic guitars were made in 1969 and were discontinued in 1970 (few were sold in 1971)eventually they were discontinued
most of these guitar were with rosewood back and sides and were made in natural colors , and a small number were made with brazilian rosewood .
i dont think anybody knows the amount of les paul jumbo guitars that were produced that year, theres hardly no literature on this guitar, and i doubt gibson would have either.
However, for the price value , i have 4 price guides that values them from $2400 to $3000.

In 1971 (as a young student) I bought a Gibson acoustic:electric guitar from a pawn shop which was the love of my life. Unfortunately, it was stolen a few years later. I have always wanted to know more about it as it does not appear to be listed in the usual information. It had a plain ebony finish with brass fittings, one pickup and two controls for volume and tone. it had the gibson logo at the head but no other features other than a thin white stripe around the body front only. any ideas or was it a copy/fake? i doubt it because of the beautiful action and sound.

I have a gibson acoustic which was imported from the usa approx 20-25 years ago, and so may be 25-30 years old.
It's really unusual and I've searched for another one like it, but never ever found one. I'd really love to know a bit more about it like where and when was it made. I'd also really like to insure it, but have no idea of it's value.
It doesn't have the normal gibson shaped peg head, but one which is more long and slend and has a curved top. It has a serial number 06183574 stamped in gold on the back of the peghead, and also the words mk-81/made in usa. It is golden/orange on the front, and dark red/brown on the back. It has gold pegs, and abalone insets on the neck.
Any of you gibson experts/fans out there have any idea what it is?
Thanks Jo

I have a Gibson flat top acoustic guitar that belonged to my father, and have identified it as a 1936 Nick Lucas Special. The label/serial number is still intact and clearly visible. My Dad purchased it as a very young country western performer during the depression. Does anyone know of it's approximate value? It is in good condition in the case, however he had an electric pick-up installed in it in the early 70's. Also does anyone know if it is better to store it with the strings on and tuned regularly? That is what we have been doing. It has been played off and on over the years, mostly by my father himself, who is now deceased. Answers, anyone?

Hello,
The comments posted about GW Williams are part of a viral marketing campaign. This person has a home-made recording on Amazon.com . You can listen to samples and see why it's clear that they had to resort to this sort of thing.
Reference to Eric Clapton, John Mayer or other prominent non-fictional guitarists seem to be drawing him in.
Please feel free to delete this entry along with his.
This seems like a nice place. It's too bad he's decided to invade it.
We've been doing battle with him and his multiple personalities on Topix. There are several indications in his posts and IP addresses that point to him being incarcerated quite possibly at Folsom prison near Sacramento.
Again, I apologize for barging in. Please feel free to block me and this other person as well

An older man I know has a Gibson Acoustic Guitar & all I could see stamped in the opening under the strings on the inside of the back looked like "LG1". He said he thought it was made in 1947. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME ESTABLISH THE VALUE FOR HIM? HE IS AN OLDER MAN & CAN USE THE MONEY. I DON"T WANT HIM TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY SOMEONE. Thank you. (828-837-5804) or wht@email.dnet.net

I had a Gibson, natural finish, but never wrote down the model or serial numbers. Unfortunately it was stolen from my car many years ago in Oregon. All I have left is a picture that I came across again recently, which got me to looking on the internet.
This guitar, like the LG-0, had unique features as well: tortoise teardrop pick guard, ivory binding, tortoise resin tuners. However, the contoured edge of the bridge faces toward the base of the guitar and has a non-adjusting saddle, like the blue ridge model.
I feel like I'm trying to find a long lost love. I sure would like to have this guitar, or one like it, back in my life again. It's nice to read comments from people who love their guitars. I have a picture posted on craigslist/portland,OR in the instrument section as Wanted: vintage gibson. Thanks for taking a look. Let me know if you have seen this guitar.

to joandmeljones:
you have a Gibson MK-81 guitar. Those were made from around 1975 to approximately 1978. There was a MK-35, MK-53, MK-72, MK-81, and MK-99. Those were designed to capture the sounds of acoustics like Martin, Gibson, and Guild, but in one guitar. They were the "child" of famous Luthier Ricardo (Richard) Schneider and Dr. Michael Kasha (acoustics physicist-engineer Univ. of Florida) who were hired by Norlin (owner of Gibson at the time) to come up with a very fine quality guitar of impressive sound, (and they do sound impressive), a very silky sound with loud forward projection. But the quality suffered because the MK guitars had delicate bracing and very fine woods which were not suited to mass production. The project failed, Schneider and Kasha resigned. I have one of the last MK-81 assembled and detailed by Schneider himself, then given to Norlin's Sales Rep for the Southeast Region of the USA as a "demonstrator". These guitars came with several bridge Saddles of different heights and materials, a removable pickguard, Ebony fingerboard and Bridge, flamed Maple Neck, a very fine Spruce Top, and choice Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. The most desirable examples of the MK guitars have Red binding (body and neck, Schneider's signature), and translucent Mother Of Pearl inlays. Schneider made guitars for Segovia and other famous guitarists, all with the signature Red binding.

For joandmeljones:
It's a Gibson Mk-81 (MK for Mark). They were made between 1975-79. It was sort of a Gibson experimental project where Gibson contracted several university acoustic-dynamics professors (most notably Prof. Michael Kasha) to help them design the "perfect" acoustic guitar, which was the Mark-project line. They didn't go over particularly well with acoustic "purists" and were discontinued in a few years. The number (Mk-35 thru Mk-90) designated the decoration-level of the guitar, the 81 being near the top. The headstock was very "un-Gibson" in appearance and most have (or had) a removeable sound-hole rosette plastic-insert. Fairly collectible, but not extremely valuable compared to many vintage Gibsons. More of a curiosity kind of thing, but they are pretty decent sounding guitars. I have two (an MK-35 and an MK-90) in my Gibson collection.

In either the 60's or early 70's Gibson made a acoustic guitar in what I think was called smoke burst.
It was white with black around edge fading towards the middle. I would like to know if anyone remembers it, and if any are still around. I know Gibson makes a les paul with a silver burst and this acoustic I'm talking about look simila to it.

My father died and left me his Acoustic Gibson. The sticker on the inside of the guitar reads 1967 C-O-Classic, Serial number 873407. I learned on this site that the C-O model was discontinued in 1971. I'm no judge of guitars, but the condition of this guitar appears to be perfect. I'd like to have some idea of it's value for insurance purposes. gloriafreeze@yahoo.com

I have a Gibson I cannot find online anywhere. The numbers on it are w1966 which I believe means it is from 1955. The other numbers are G100, which I cannot find online. I think it was a custom order. It's an acoustic/electric with pickups. It is shaped like a Les Paul with one side rounded ant the other cutout pointy. The numbers are stamped in ink; w1966 is on the neck inside and g100 is on the inside back, with no Made in USA anywhere on the guitar. The closest picture I've seen was of a Gibson cf100. Can anyone help me.

My father left me a Gibson acoustic, serial # dates it to 1972-3. Very plain, flat finish (no binding) with a gold Gibson decal on the head stock. had some minor repair done at Elderly Music in Lansing, Michigan. They thought it was an entry level J50. I cannot find out any info from the resources online, all the Gibsons from this time seem to be rather "up scale", this looks like a "student "model its so plain. It needs a neck reset to make it playable, just not sure it is worth it. Any ideas where I might continue to look? for info?

I have a small bodied Les Paul custom acoustic flattop with a serial # of 383553 with a "2" stamped above the serial#. It has a pickup between the bridge and soundhole, two adjustment knobs, looks like mother of pearl fret markers and turtle shell pick guard and trim. Near as I can tell (by the SN it was made in the 60's). Can anyone help me identify the specific year and model?

I have a 1970 Gibson Jumbo Les Paul Acoustic Electric with low impedance pick ups, brazillian rosewood back and sides and the original case. With the exception of laquer checking and a repaired crack on the flat top, the guitar is absolutely beautiful and just about the coolest acoustic electric I've ever seen. Can anyone tell me anything about thess guitars - I've been told that the brazillian rosewood was only in the first two years ('69-70) and that less than 100 were made. Any info or where I can get more info would be greatly appreciated!!
