this is to general public and anyone savvy in gibson appraisals and history. i have what looks like a baby gibson acoustic but from what i can tell it is an L G 3/4. this is the only printed lettering inside the guitar and 1956 written in pen or something. its a legit gibson i just don't know what model, how old, or the approximate value. if anyone can tell me my e-mail is d_iceij@sbcglobal.net. i'd greatly appreciate it. oh the guitar's measurements are 3 1/2" deep, 12 1/2" wide at widest base point, 17" long body, and 37" total length. thanks for any input.

i could be a 1956 LG-2 3/4 , these guitars were the short scale version of the regular lg-2 guitars ...They had wooden bridges and were made in sunburst finishes ... introduced in 1949 and discontinued in 1962 .

I have a Gibson that has LG 6 (I think) printed on the inside. I was going to sell it to a guy at a music store, but he only offered to pay me $120; surely it is worth more than that? Help please? It has a serial number that dates it in the early 60's. How much is it really worth?? Thanks so very much!

I recently retired and own a Gibson 1941 L-7, blond archtop, with an original, hand wound, D Armond "guitar mike". I was told that there were very few blonds created. Can anyone point me to where I might find such info? or better yet, if you know how many were actually made, just tell me! Thanks, Dave

I have an old Gibson. It was passed down from my G. Grandmother.
The history so I'm told goes like this.... It was made in 1927. My G.mother said it was a mandocello and that Gibson only made 27 of them.(Maybe a proto-type?)In doing research, it looks more like an L-1.
There is a white faded tag with what looks like a serial # on it A-0014. There is another white tag that has a faded name on it. ( could this be a craftman's name)?.
It has The Gibson in fancy letters on the peg head, the frets are inlaid mother-of-pearl, and the tunning pegs are made of ivory.
Any help in solving this mystery will be gratly appreciated!
