I think you are correct. I was afraid to play mine. It was much too good of a guitar than I needed. It was also hard to carry around. The case was huge.

 

Here it is a few hundred yards from where Marv grew up.

 

Lots to enjoy about this post!!!

 

Thanks

Are the new owners allowed to build H-357s? why/why not?

My understanding, and there is a good chance I'm wrong, is.

Marv Lamb is listed on the patent. So he has the right to reproduce the guitar. Heritage can not!

I find this doubtful, as a design patent is only good for 14 years. Thus any patent granted before 2003 would be expired. Even if he were listed on a Gibson patent, he would not be eligible to use it as the holder would have been the company since he was an employee.

 

I think it was probably a "company policy" and since Marv was one of the owners, his word would carry a lot of weight.

Ron, did you sell yours? Looks like the one Bob is buying?

I sold mine last May to a gent from MI.

These will one day be collectibles within the collectible genre, once the provenance is widely understood. And our good man Mr. Bird has created perhaps the defining image of the specimen.

Thank you. I sure couldn't do it justice by playing it. ;^)

You should go to Kalamazoo this year. You would never forget it.

He is kidding for sure. That guitar is making its way to the OTHER Florida coast
