Not sure, but those Grover Rotomatics sure look nice on a 1937 small-body guitar...

Looks Gibson...it would be nice to know a little more about it in the description, e.g., is it X braced, is there a FON, etc.

I've been wondering about that one. I wonder if it was originally a tenor? The peghead is either too large, or the nut it too narrow for a normal L-00.sugarinthegourd.com: Streaming Old-Time...

It's ugly as sin, is what it is.... Totally non-original, and lord knows what--in addition to the finish and the tuners--has been messed with. Outrageous opening bid, too....I don't know about the...

There's a few things wrong with this one that make it's attribution to Gibson somewhat questionable. The shape looks, to my eye, a little off for a L-0 or L-00 guitar. The finish is definitely not...

The earlier Gibson logos were somewhat inconsistent in terms of size and placement. It's entirely possible the smaller logo is genuine. After reading all the responses and comparing pics, my vote is...

Maybe it's a L-00 that came out of the factory with a Tenor looking headstock. It's not unheard of for such things to happen to get rid of parts or cover a mistake in inventory. It would be hard to...
