I got this from a luthier on the east coast via eBay several months back. He thought i was either a National or a Gibson but I don't think it is either one. What is distinctive to me anyway is the sharpness of the horns, the position of the F holes and the fact the switch is located on the right rather than on the left like many of the double cutaway hollow bodies. Anyone have a clue what it might be? The heel width is 2 1/8 by the way. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150388852144085&l=de2ac801d6 |

Good eye Randy, not sure I would have ever seen that. I'm surprised that the seller tried to imply Gibson with a straight face. So is it wall art, or are you going to try to restore it Wander? |

I got lucky - Thought it was a Trini Lopez model at first - and my first post indicated that - but after further research I saw a Barney Kessel model - I remember that pointed 335 look from years past; Barney Kessel - a great jazz player. |
