<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 6679036, member: 55"]I'd think the date is likely 1920-1940s; and I'd agree with some posters, that in my opinion it would not be worth restoring before selling. Not a high end guitar, and one issue with that kind of tailpiece, sometimes called a "trapeze tailpiece," is that unless designed carefully, it does not put enough pressure on the bridge to obtain a good sound. </p><p>Thus, though a similar vintage Gibson in that style might sound great, and be quite valuable, a low-end guitar in that style likely would not sound particularly good even after restoration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
