Just a Gibson "headstock signature" question
I own a fabulous '02 L-130 with a curious moniker. I've seen this before, but I want to know if anyone can tell me why the spelling is GIBSUN?

The Gibson pearl logo had an open "o" and "b" from '48 - '69. Looks like a retro headstock emblem if I was guessing.

It's not a Gibson! I have myself a few Gibon and Gisbon bought on the chinese eBay, often you can recognise them as they have flaw on the finish, like no soundhole or only 4 tuners on the headstock!
