Hi: I've just purchased the above guitar(model 1153, pre-'Stylist' neck heel). It has a 17" body by Gibson, with a dovetailed neck(also by Gibson?). I've read conflicting opinions as to whether the back is laminated or solid and carved. I do not yet have the guitar, but am wondering if anyone on this forum can confirm either way.

The model number is 1135, not 1153.

Mine was solid maple. So was one that Jake Wildwood restored.
I'm pretty sure these have standard-spec L-7 bodies, and I doubt any of them are laminated.

Hi Noah, thanks. I received the guitar last week, and indeed the back is solid and carved. The neck is dovetailed, I believe it's a Gibson made neck. It sounds and plays great, I am very pleased with it. The lacquer is flaking in spots on the sides and back, but it's otherwise solid.
