Hi there. I have a GB24 12 string, sunburst/hummingbird. I think it's from the mid-70s. Looking for as much information as possible about it. I can post some photos if need be....thanks!

Model: GB24
SN: 4070158

Photos will definitely help - a nice clear shot of the guitar and ones of headstock and sound hole label if possible.

Unfortunately, the S/N system was never really used so it is not a help in determining the date/country of manufacture. BUT since it does have a S/N (not many do) it may be an earlier MIJ (Made in Japan) model... photos will vertainly help me to determine further (or at least make an educated guess )

I'll try to get some photos posted; it's the guitar I learned on at 12 so the info is more for sentimental reasons. Too bad about the s/n system, or lack thereof.

Glad you've kept the guitar with you over the years - look forward to seeing the photos

I'm guessing she's a beauty Adam. Let's see her!

I'm just in the process of cleaning and restringing it now after many years of non-use...will post some pics when complete..

Here's the sound hole; if you know or can guess the year let me know! (I'm posting more photos under "Hummingbird 12 string GB24")

That's a nice MIJ model you have there - my best guess is that it would be from somewhere in the early to mid 70's.
