Year: 1913
Manufacturer: Gibson
Model: 1913 Style O
Case: Original Hard
Color: black
Condition: Excellent
Description: 1913 Gibson Style O in excellent original condition. This is the cleanest I have ever seen. It has a finely crafted Maple replacement bridge, but the original bridge comes with it. The finish has a lovely patina of a guitar that was always carefully kept. One would have to assume that this guitar was only lightly played. The original hard case is also in excellent condition, with a replacement handle and professionally replaced primary latch

$7850
 
An awesome collectors piece. I'd love to try a guitar like that once just to see what they are all about.

Then I'd take it to a Starbucks and play this:

Not sure if I would want it or not. I prefer my acoustics not to look like a half finished mandolin. I would definitely want to play it though....

Crap. I can't see what Mark posted. Hope this isn't a repeat.

I am taken with the guitar cuz Big Bill Broonzy was pictured with one:

Hmmmmm Noice! I wonder if my grampa (Guitar Generation #1 in the family), ever lusted for one of these, when he was a 20-something guitar player in the 1920s.
 
i would like to have it.....






















to use as firewood. That is fucking ugly. But i guess most of you are blinded by the 'Gibson' label :facepalm:
 
I know that seems like a rather steep price, but for a good vintage Gibson acoustic....assuming this on has no issues according to the description, that price tag would be worth it. My '52 J-45 has to be one of the sweetest sounding acoustics I have ever heard and it's worth every penny I paid for it. I'd give this one a try even though the body style is not really my cup of tea.
 
I would if I could. I have recently played a 1938 Gibby acoustic and it was a treat...a little weird when you feel how big the necks were back then at least on what I played. But that doesn't seem unreasonable for a Gibson that old in that condition.
 
It is funny to me how something that looks good on a mandolin suddenly seems a bit ugly when blown up to guitar size. I think perhaps the long, straight edge around the neck throws off the look.
