That doesn't look like a Gibson label to me.

No it that pic. But it is a "The Gibson" script straight across the peghead instead of at an angle as most

[Rick Schmidlin]

22's are way cool :)

I want to say Tony Williamson had/has a Loar with the script straight across as well.

[Scotti Adams]

Heres a better pic. This is the mando used on alot of the early Stanley Bros recordings such as "White Dove"

Now, there's a Pee Wee :)) Thanks for the add'l pic.

Now, where's the pic of a RD right behind it?

Who is the hippie-lookin' dude in the first pic?

[Bluegrassnate]

IMHO, that '41 bone is the best guitar I've ever played. :mandosmiley:

Thanks, Scotti,
I hadn't seen one like that.

Who is that fat lady holding the mandolin standing to the left ?

[f5loar]

That would be an aging Ricky Skaggs. This Loar has been through multi-refinish jobs and several necks over it's life time but it's never had a firepoker poked into it.

I think I'm listening to that mando right now. Did Pee Wee use it in the original Columbia recordings? I've been reading Ralph's book and listening to all this great old music from the 40's. Ralph says Pee Wee was a big fan of Monroe and you can really tell that by listening to his leads and fills.

I want to say Tony Williamson had/has a Loar with the script straight across as well.

I believe he did at one point, but at the moment the only straight script gibson he has is either a 27 or 29, i believe.
