This guitar is the same type that was played by Don Helms, a member of steel guitar Hall of Fame, who is the primary steel guitar is for Hank Williams Sr.
This is the guitar used in the Hank Williams Sr. movie, I saw the light starring Tom Hiddleston.
The guitar plays good and stays in tune and would make a real good collectors item. Brand new strings and the original case is in fair condition and will transport and protect the guitar. Both latches close.
Included in the sale, is a picture of the guitar in the movie.
This guitar is an 8/7 set up. Everything functions and plays and it holds tune. I feel, it is in good condition for its age and one like this in the 1942 Gibson catalog Described it as a Sunburst color. The 1950s Gibson catalog shows this guitar with four legs so it’s a is determined to be between 1942 in 1950. So, 1948 is just a guess.
