Hello, I've been mostly lurking for a fair while but,since I won a Gibson on ebay
recently I thought I might try to harness the power of the board to pin down a model. It was sold to me a an A-Jr but I'm sure thats not the case. Both front and back are bound, it has a paddle shaped head stock with Gibson painted horizontally on it. There is no label inside the body merely the number 750 visible at an angle through the oval sound hole which has no purfling. I was thinking that it might be a 1930s A-1. Rather a nice sunburst top too. Even my inexperienced ears can tell that I've got a great mando here, I'd just like to know a little bit more about it. Thanks,Paul
