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

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

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 Memphis ES Les Paul Light Burst, 2014

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

❌SOLD❌  Osamu Nakade C15 Classical Guitar, 1980

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.
