These raised 50's and 75's y are not at all common from what i see I only recently saw one for about the same priceĪnd another sans tailpiece cover (tailpice should say The GIbson in the later, 30s script style, seems slightly larger or to take more of the face of the tailpiece -german ncikle silver over brass as i recall mine The closest was the A75-which has nicer inlay peg head decoration-i refer to standard and not wide body A'sĪt the time, the A 75 i found-and i have only seen 2 for sale in standard body size-was listed at about 2400-this was about fifteen years ago In trying to find a value for mine when it was stolen, The point is that the raised fingerboard version of the A50 is nearly identical to the A 75-but for the kinda fleur d lis or whatever it is on the 75 peghead-the ones ive seen are unique to the model-sort of a three pointed thing (i have seen wide body versions of both which sometimes have full burst back and sides instead of the brown-these have fancy inlay in the fingerboard) Which also has the raised fingerboard extension, rosewood board and bridge and smallish inlaid "Gibson" script straight across the peghead just like the A75-in fact but for the inaly issues, they appear identical. I know a tiny bit about the a 75, because i had a rather unique circa 1935 A 50-triburst with walnut stained maple or birch(?) back and sides Is likely stamped, as noted, on the inside back, looks like black ink-youll have to peak around inside to see it and there should also be A 75 stamped somehwere too
