Help with mystery guitar!
 
Hi to all. I recently purchased custom made guitar from an individual that didnt play, just found it at an estate sale, so i have not a clue about the builder. It is a very nice solid wood acoustic, sounds incredible, and looks beautiful in person. Only one problem, it has no name or mark of any kind to identify the maker! I have looked and looked even on the bottom side of the top, and nothing. I was hopping someone here might could shed some light on a possible maker. I will try to post the pics. Thanks in advance, Barry. Maybe i can email someone here the pics, to post for me. Cant post them

Try using tapatalk or the AGF app to post pics...

King, between the two apps, you'll need to use Tapatalk since you are not (yet) a charter member. You may also post pics using a third-party host like Imgur. Take a look at this thread and don't hesitate to PM me if I can help you.

You might try putting a phone inside the guitar and getting pictures of the top - many builders will sign of date the inside of the top, usually down below the bridge. But it can be hard to find or see. Many larger shops - if they individually voice their tops - will have that person sign the top, or sometimes they’ll leave a message for some future repairperson to find.

Its also possible that it was a hobby built guitar, or a kit, and there may be no markings. Then all that matters is how well it plays and sounds to you -
