cynic Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Interesting. I don't recall the Gibson raid having anything to do with Brazilian rosewood, but do recall the name Nagel.I agree, if it looks like a bulldog it probably is a bulldog. However, bulldogs bred in other areas can bear a striking resemblance to bulldogs bred in Brazil. As you state, it can take more than a casual inspection to be 100% certain.
HamerHamburg Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I am told that there were times after that raid that Gibson actually put out guitars with laminated ply fingerboards, because all the fretboard wood was confiscated.A story I heard from a reliable source, but one that I cannot confirm myself.
HamerHamburg Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Bidding seems to be slow on this one ... could turn out to be a steal ...
HamerHamburg Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Here's another one for sale in Germany. Have a look at the price ... http://shop.guitarpoint.de/de/Diverse/1980-Hamer-Special-Greenburst
