Thank you for the kind comments. As you can see I do like to antique sometimes.

If I saw that in a music store,
I would think " clean old guitar, but what brand is it?
It looks like a Gibson.
Didn't know they made a double cutaway."
Did they?

It is in my "what if" category.
There are some instruments that were similar in shape and style, just like everything else, something came before it.
