The following information is compiled from AI sources.
Q: Our Jaros is serial # 179 with 2 F Holes, Matched Koa Top and Back, and Celtic Knot Inlay.
A: Based on what you described, your Jaros guitar with serial number 179 is almost certainly an early, original Jaros build from the first era (before the Ed Roman period), and the details you mention (two f-holes, Koa top and back, and a Celtic knot inlay) are very consistent with custom features that builders included back then.

One owner Jaros Gatlinburg in on Consignment weighing 6 Lbs 15 Ozs. The instrument has been maintained by a collector and played only sparingly (that is a shame). If you are into Boutique Builds and names like McNaught or McInturff excite you, then you will love this Jaros Gatlinburg. The instrument is free of cracks, rash or worming. We just ran it thru the shop giving it a clean bill of health and a full setup using straight edges and feeler gauges. The neck is straight and true with a functional truss rod. The instrument will show minor signs of handling.
