This appears to be a 2001-2005 (Gibson-era) Dobrolektric based on Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars. Good luck with the sale!

Bob,
Would you post a couple of photos of the back, please?

Is it a single pickup?

Is fretboard rosewood and are fret markers abalone?

Email and PMs sent.

Thanks,
stevet

Steve I believe it is a double pickup. One volume knob and 2 tone knobs. I believe you are correct on the neck with it being rosewood and abalone. I unpacked it plugged it in again and played it right in front of my amp with the volume up and did not have any feedback issues.

Bob,
As I understand, this guitar was initially equipped with the P-90 and a piezo under the bridge. The knobs controlled the volume, tone, and blending together of the two pickups.
Is that how this guitar is configured?

Thanks in advance for any additional info you can provide.

Doc

There is a signature and a date written on the body in the cone cavity on all of the Gibson OMI Dobros.
