    Default How many made - '41 (+/-) A50 diamond inlay logo

    Have wondered for a long time. A largely undocumented era in Gibson history due to war. Have communicated with some who might know, but don't. Does anyone?

    Well I've got one so have some interest in knowing. My educated guess would be about half of the 1948 known figure of 618. Because in 1949 it dropped back down to just 352 and in 1950 down to 241 A50's. Considering the A40 post war model also had similar production the 41's is believable around 300.

    Thank you f5loar. I thought you might have some insight. That was my guess also. I was going to consider that two batches were made, but what with all the craziness of the time, probably only one, which they used up slowly over the next several years. Could get only scraps of information from my inquiries and research. So it's been a back burner issue for me, but i always do wonder.

    I've got 4 of them. One doesn't have the diamond, but is identical in every other way.
