    Default Gibson-Prewar

    If you haven't seen this site it's worthwhile to take a trip over to it. I was looking for some original pricing information this morning and this popped up. It's a nice resource.

    Yes, I like the Beare & Son catalogue- you get to see a great picture of the Beare & Son cat which the company still uses. I assume the prices are Canadian dollars. I once saw an old late 30s Harmony guitar which had a carved headstock plate which featured that cat with his fiddle!

    Yes, I just discovered it too looking for some Kalamazoo instrument info. Lots of nice pages to waste time, uh, do research, if so inclined. Kudos to whoever created this.
