FredZepp Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's got to be the one of the best freaking days of your life.

FredZepp Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Regarding the Certificate... Â The top signature , you should know , is JP Moats... an owner. The second is Larry's (ex-) wife. The third is Pete Farmer, who made the neck , inlaid the Abalone hearts in the neck, "tap-tuned " the top and back , and assembled the guitar.

FredZepp Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 a couple more pics, .. You can just see the label inside the F hole, signed by all the employees at the end of 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 The inlay on the headstock is the "Hummingbird and Flower". This is the only one done in abalone, not pearl. If you look closely , inside the flower you'll see the initials "M-M". This is the trademark of Maudie Moore, who was Gibsons top inlay artist in the 60's, 70's & 80's and now does custom work only. On the back of the headstock are 3 diamond inlays...two abalone and one pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
