1929 Gibson L-0 based on my research. It has:

• Mahogany top, back, and sides
• unbound fretboard, 12 frets from the body
• position markers at 3,5,7,9,12, and 15th frets
• rosewood rectangular bridge w/ flat wings
• no inside binding ring on sound hole
• 14 3/4" lower bout with square body
• white body binding front and back
• has early 1900's FO# "X196" (first numeral is not clear, see photo)

This is research I obtained from "Gibson's Fabulous Flattop guitars" book pub. 1994. Gibson was famously inconsistent with features during this period so it's not uncommon to find guitars with overlapping features from one year to the next. The Kluson nickel tuners are not original, nor are the string pegs. There is a crack repaired properly on the upper part of the waist and it was cleated from the inside, slightly visible from the outside but it is smooth and strong. The guitar plays and sounds wonderfully and weighs about 3 pounds. I would say it looks pretty good for it's age. If you have any questions please ask.
