❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-150DC Double Cutaway Electric Archtop Natural, 1974

On January 3, 2023 /

Here’s a lovely rarity– an Gibson ES-150DC, a double cutaway, full depth hollow body electric archtop built as late as 1974 at the unionized Kalamazoo plant during the Norlin years. Drawing inspiration from the venerable ES-150 model – introduced in 1936 with the ‘Charlie Christian’ pickup and built until 1956 – the Gibson ES-150DC is unusual. In 1958, the all-new thinline, semi-hollow ES-335 and 345 were introduced and started the final decline of the popular full depth archtop.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-350T Thinline Archtop Electric Wine Red, 1978

On January 3, 2023 /

The Gibson ES-350T (or ES-350TD to the early 1960s) is a thin-bodied, single cutaway fully hollow archtop electric built from 1955 to 1963 with a 23.5 inch scale length, and from 1977 to 1993 with a 25.5 inch scale. It started as the full-bodied, single-cutaway, 25.5 inch scale length single P-90 ES-350 Premiere in 1947. The ES-350 models were used by a number of top artists in the 1950s, most notably Chuck Berry. At introduction in 1955, the Gibson ES-350T shared several things with the also-new Byrdland, particularly the 23.5 inch scale length.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Memphis ES Les Paul Light Burst, 2014

On January 2, 2023 /

Introduced in 2014 and built until the plant closed, the Gibson Memphis ES Les Paul was one of the most radical versions of the Les Paul design. Though it looks from a few feet away much like a ‘Standard’ Les Paul, the ES version has a pair of F-holes exposing the mostly hollow, chambered body.

❌SOLD❌ Osamu Nakade C15 Classical Guitar, 1980

On January 2, 2023 /

This is a rarity for us – a very nice Osamu Nakade C15 Classical Guitar, with the label signed and dated to 1990 at Tokio Japon. These models are usually found in the Japanese market. This Osamu Nakade C15 classical guitar is in overall good condition, and constructed in the ‘hybrid’ style, with a dovetail-type joint attaching the neck and body, rather than the traditional Spanish ‘Slipper Heel’ that ties the body and neck together.
