Gibson
"Mastertone Special"
© Frank Ford, 2003; Photos by FF

This rather odd little Gibson from the 1930s is a Hawaiian style guitar that was part of a guitar teaching "system" that included a magazine style publication of special music instruction. Curiously, they borrowed the name of one of their most important products, the Mastertone banjo, for this inexpensive effort.
