Mystery Guitar.

A rather unusual guitar came into my possession a few months back.

Sadly, clearing out my father-in-law’s house after his passing, I literally fell across this old guitar wrapped in plastic in his loft. In my opinion it is a beautiful instrument, and I’m not a guitarist.

I cleaned it up and had it re-strung. 

I showed it to a few people, guitarist got excited about it, everyone is puzzled as there is no makers label.

Finally I took it to an expert who, at one level, were still puzzled.

Their best guess is that it is a guitar probably made in the USA in the first decade of the 20^th century; it’s either based upon an early Gibson or the earliest Gibson is based upon a design similar. Any guitar geeks out there, take a look, what do you think?
