<p>No makers marks anywhere, no label, no FON etc.....including the neckblock. It is X braced, but has cheap kerfing on top and bottom, almost has a pressed paper look to it...braces are sanded well and fit to sides well.</p>
<p>The guards look to be original, but who knows? lol 2 ply standard stuff...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Forgot to mention, No truss rod...</p>

<p>I guess the pick guards were added later. The sunburst looks pretty good in the pictures but, like you, I doubt that the Gibson sticker is original either. The bridge shape is not completely unique but, right now, I can't remember where I've seen it before. It may be an early to mid '70s guitar made in japan. </p>
<p> No internal labels of numbers?</p>

<p>Hahah...Yeah...with that much pickguard, I don't guess it matters much what it was made of..</p>
<p></p>
<p>Like i said, bought it for the case...One of those medium brown with burgundy lining on the edges in good shape inside and out..$20 for all....Not a Lifton, but decent enough for some other acoustics I have..</p>
<p>Never know what you will run across at yard sales!</p>

Looks like real winner! The top appears to be pine, maybe it belonged to "Pinetop Smith"!
