Gibson Super 400 CES 1995  (consignment)  SOLD

The Super 400 used to be seen on many big stages with top players in top acts, like Merle Travis, Scotty Moore and Kenny Burrell. Now they are hardly seen, and Gibson doesn’t make many of them – they are mostly built to order. This 1995 model is in great shape, a big guitar with a big sound and a commanding presence.

Gibson ES-295 1956 (consignment) SOLD

Gibson ES-295 1956 (consignment) SOLD

This is an incredibly cool guitar. There aren’t a lot of ES-295’s around; they were supplanted by the ES-175, which is a very similar guitar but with humbuckers. As an excellent rockabilly guitar, the ES-295 was famously played by Scotty Moore in Elvis Presley’s band fronm 1952 to 1955. This example, while refinished long ago, is in good playable shape and is ready to rumble!
