A closer look at instruments used in mandolin orchestras in the early 20th Century.... Acoustic superpickers Tim May and David Harvey brought out their personal vintage Gibson collections at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on June 27, 2007, for a powerful demonstration of the beauty and enduring quality of these old treasures.

It was my grandfather's and it is in perfect working condition, however, there's no company name on it anywhere. Someone told me once that is was shaped like a Gibson, but obviously its not, otherwise it would say Gibson on it. The only thing on it is a small butterfly inlaid in abalone on the head of the guitar. Does anyone know anything about it?

Apparently it's an old Japanese knock-off from the '70s. Check this out:

there's a Les Paul I want that sounds awesome but it's used, I didn't buy it then and there because I knew I wasn't going to give a proper assessment , especially being so excited for it..

It's a 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom, sounds fine and everything seems to be seated right.. anything I should look for ? or that i should ask the sales guy?

Look for indications of it being played, such as wearing of the varnish at the neck where common chords are held, fine scratch marks that the pick would make on the pickguard and above the strings, and faded colors where the arm rests. Are the tuning knobs still intact? What about the back of it--any signs of belt-buckle scratching?

If a 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom has none of these you can judge that:

1. It was seldom played and is truly a great buy or
2. It had been re-surfaced, giving it an appearance of like-new.

Of course, the asking price will determine how much you want it.

i want to know which one is better... cause i'm gonna buy a new bass guitar...

both are generic el-cheapo brands produced as the lowest of the lowest quality by factories producing low-spec instruments for others.
Avoid them.

wife. I've been playing for 15 years, however, I sold my electrics a few years ago to pay off some debt. Let me tell you, this guitar rips. On the bridge it has a nice Duncan Designed humbucker pick-up. I play through my Marshall 30 watt MG 30DFX amp, and I have a Dunlop Cry Baby pedal as well. I use Ernie Ball super slinkies 9's. This guitar is really good for the money. It's listed on the Fender Squire website for $499, but my wife got it new for $330, got a good deal on it. It's color is gun-metal grey. Tell me what you think of it? The links are below.

The ampifier is a 1966 Epiphone Comet covered in the standard grey tolex used on all of Epihone's amps during this time period. I have checked all of the usual sources for tolex on the web and come up empty-handed .
