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!!

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.

Thanks Jake... I paid $2,300 a little over a year ago and I thought it was a steal so at least it looks as if I am in the ball park. I'd like to contact Gibson to get info on the serial number but I'm not sure they have any serial info/record history from the Kalamazo days.

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.

very difficult to answer your question without seeing a picture ... gibson made hundreds of models that can match your description ..

jake said...

what type of logo ? what type of pickup ? what kind of wood ? serial number? .. missing lots of info .

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?
