That's interesting. If you Google "Gibson Original Hound Dog", all that shows up is the Gibson resonator guitar.
Can't find any reference to a regular flat top Gibson acoustic model designated as an Original Hound Dog.
Edit - Found something interesting. Gibson acquired the "Original Hound Dog" brand name when they bought the Original Musical Instrument Company in 1993. I wonder if this guitar is actually a product of that company, made before the Gibson acquisition?

These have nothing to do with Gibson!
They were manufactured by Mori Daira of Japan (The people who made Morris guitars) in 1979 to be marketed by OMI in Huntingdon Beach.
They were designed by Ron Lazar of OMI. Ron Lazar was a friend of Mori Daira.
OK?
