Don’t you just hate it when you sneeze while writing a thread title? :ROFLMAO:

The decal should be a sticker with gold lettering and numbers on it. The easiest thing would be for you to post a pic of what you have, rather than having us try to blindly guess.

If the serial number is on a decal, it’s a 1976.

On Larry Carlton’s 335, there is a spot you could have put the tailpiece that would look “correct”. This guitar has no such spot. Let’s assume that the bridge is in the right place for its scale length (or the intonation would be completely off). For the tailpiece to be positioned where it...

If a ‘96 is Murphy aged, it’s an aftermarket job.

The inlays, the open book on the headstock, tailpiece placement, knob placement... it doesn’t look like anything Gibson made.

If I told you, I’d have to kill you. 🥷🏻

Yes, I did all the vocals... and everything else. The vocals and guitars were left a bit sloppy on purpose. I figured I’d want to make changes to lyrics, solos and guitar arrangements before calling it finished - I always do - so I just recorded rough sketches. I did that demo during a rather...

A quick search tells me that Kluson stayed in business until 1981; Gibson, however, switched to Schaller in ‘76. For the last couple of years, the tuners were, to my understanding, made by Kluson, but marked “Gibson Deluxe”. It’s perfectly conceivable that less used models like the strip tuners...

That’s awesome!

Hi Daniel! I looked at your art... man, you’ve got skills! The portraits are very vivid, and the vehicles look kick-ass! Of course I remember Lidköping, Götene and (naturally) Skövde - I’ve either been up to no good or hung over in each of those places, and I’m not even a hardcore partier by...

If you've been hanging around here, no doubt you're aware of the legal wrangling over 9-2180. Well, after 2+ years, it's over... and it's a happy, non-contentious ending! Craig Chaquico (of Jefferson Starship and solo fame) and I finally sat down in a room and worked it out, musician to...
