my girlfriends father has a VERY old Gibson nylon string guitar with case. i wasnt even aware that Gibson made nylon string guitars. the sticker in the soundhole says

"Gibson.. made in Kalamazoo.. serial number 236136."

the Gibson logo is painted on and not inlaid or decalled.

its in rather used shape with wear. i wish i had a camera so i could take some shots. anyone know anything about this? age? value?

Thanks in advance.

What colour is the label in the soundhole? Is the serial # also stamped on the back of the headstock? Is the headstock the typical Gibson style? Pictures would help.

interesting, you gotta get some pix posted.
Is it this logo?

I used to own one and they are OK but not if you want a serious classical.

The one I had was from the 60's and even the rosette was a decal.
