Greetings,

Many of the photos are in poor lighting and I am a lousy picture guy. But I hope you at least get the info you need to make an id on this guitar.

The Gibson in the photos became my dad's in early 1954. He bought it privately from a friend. At the time of purchase it was obviousely well used but we don't know how old the guitar was.... and that is what we are asking your help with.

The numbers stamped inside the guitar are:       Z     871     16

Thanks for your efforts in helping us place an age and any other info on this very important family member .
