I've looked over a multitude of sites and, telling by the details of a photo (the size of the sunburst, the place of the volume knobs, the colour of the top fret, the colour and shape of the elements in the guitar head, etc) I can tell by guessing, is a 1964.<br />Also, I would like to know the price of a new guitar to buy and wher can I do it.<br />Thank you in advance and be safe.<br />Link to the pic: https://twitter.com/osvaldobazan/status/1403808236864692230?s=19Marcos "Tony" Quimerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556648999378739247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-36252393326433248572013-12-01T10:18:46.581-08:002013-12-01T10:18:46.581-08:00Hi i wish i could aford a real gibson j-160e but f...Hi i wish i could aford a real gibson j-160e but for now im getting the epiphone version is it true epiphone have not used bone material for the bridge the nut and the pins.

However your original 1963 instrument is an excellent guitar and somewhat rare. Take good care of both.<br /><br />Best wishes and thanks for asking,<br />Marcmarcusohara@aol.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357395346195087734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-6345564652237153732010-10-25T16:48:23.088-07:002010-10-25T16:48:23.088-07:00Tony here...

This ...Nick, I thought a lot about this last night. This is indeed a puzzler. Every source I've looked at says 1955 was the year they went to 20 frets. From reading about dating guitars I know that sometimes manufacturers (Fender & Gibson) don't let anything go to waste. It may be NOS left over from '54 that was never sold.<br /><br />This would be an ideal queston for George Gruhn's Vintage Guitar column. <br /><br />http://www.vguitar.com/resources/contact/<br />Thanks for reading,<br />Marcmarcusohara@aol.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357395346195087734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-31817061238816854292010-10-24T04:31:33.534-07:002010-10-24T04:31:33.534-07:00Hi.

It has a laminated top and the extra white circle around the sound hole. But it has 19 frets not 20. According to everything I have read Gibson increased the number of frets in 1955. Any ideas?
