MLA. What is the song and musician lineup on the
"Subtle Swing" record!!! I don't think I have that one. Is it reissued on CD.

There was a note in the case when I got this guitar that said it was a 1940 EH100. Obviously it isn't. Does anyone recognize it?

Yes, it is a 1940 Gibson EH-100. They switched the model's specifications in 1940 before discontinuing the model in 1941.

Joe

I would say it's worth it if it's in good condition.

I paid a thousand for mine many years ago, but it was mint.

Good luck

Harry :D

If you like the sound of those, and it's in fine shape, you will likely get what you pay for. The one pictured looks fine to me.

Just my 2-bits :)

Joe,i'm gonna be a nitpicker : even though the one you show us seems to be in mint condition, for the price he's sellin' it i prefer the later model w: the knobs together on the other side & the morning star inlay on the headstock
here's one i got off ebay not too long ago
as you can see they're goin' up in price :

Hi Joe

From the looks of this one I'd say it's well worth the price.

I'd snap it up in a heartbeat!

Harry :)

P.S. You can see a picture of mine in Andy Volk's Lap Steel Book on page 241 at the top.
