I have had this one a while now so figured it was time to unveil it - a 1935 Capital. The Capital was built by Gibson for J.W. Jenkins Music Store. Pressed spruced top, mahogany body, X braced, with a 16" lower bout. No truss rod of course. You gotta love the inlaid skunk stripe down the board which begs the question of why Gibson would go through the trouble on a guitar that sold for $25. This is basically a re-badged Cromwell G-4. No need to re-invent the wheel. Gibson was just trying to survive the Great Depression. Nice thick V neck and a feel that is all Gibson. The sound to my ears comes off all the world like an electric. Go figure.
