    "​[photo 1, donated by Chris Wilhelm] This stunning instrument - with a 21" wide body, 27-1/2" scale, ornate soundhole decoration and rope binding - has caused a bit of a stir among us Gibson fanatics. It seems that it is - as far as we are able to determine - the oldest surviving Gibson harp guitar known. And it has the lowest known serial number of any Gibson instrument of any kind. ",
    "​[photo 2] The illustration shown (at left) in the 1902/1903 catalog (consensus is that it was produced right around the year's transition) must be considered the original model - though it may be that it actually represents a "pre-production" model. ",
    "​[photo 3, submitted by Michael Wright] This incredible photo (at right) is the only known image of an actual specimen of the 12-bass Style U as it was shown in the 1902/1903 catalog. "
