I just about a Trump FG-41 from an antique store in Cartersville, GA this weekend. The model number is hand written and is the only identifying piece of info on it. The sticker on the inside says TRUMP and there's an oval sticker on the head that says TRUMP as well, even though it's off center so that a tiny portion of it wraps to one side...
It's the same size as my Fender DG-7 but it's not quite as deep, maybe a 1/2 inch or an inch skinnier. Makes it easier to sit in your lap.
After getting some new bridge pins and putting on some new strings, it sounds great. No idea where it's from, what it's worth, or any of the history behind it.
So if someone knows where to find something out, we're all ears.
Thanks.
