❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop, 1969

On August 15, 2019 /

The Gibson Les Paul Deluxe was built from late 1968 to 1985, and used an original style body layout and finish. The pickup cavities reflect the use of P90 pickups, though what was installed was a ‘New York’ mini humbucker mounted in a modified P90 cover, all in a gold top finish. Gibson launched the Les Paul in 1952, using a now-classic pairing of a Maple top on a Mahogany body, with a Mahogany neck and bound Rosewood fingerboard. By late 1952, the design was modified to increase the neck angle allowing better action and breakover at the bridge saddles and in 1954, the new Tune-O-Matic and Stop Tailpiece were added.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul 59 Reissue Custom Shop Sunburst, 2001

On August 13, 2019 /

This Gibson Les Paul 59 Reissue is in all original, overall good condition. Finish and fret wear are light, and a headstock crack has been nicely repaired – only regluing was necessary, and it is quite stable. The Maple top has an interesting figure, combining Flame and Quilt effects. This kind of figuring is really set off by a sunburst finish, and the washed-out cherry sunburst here complements it very well.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES 150 Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1939

On August 13, 2019 /

The Gibson ES 150 was one of the earliest production electric guitars, and perhaps the first successful Electric Spanish – as distinct from Electric Hawaiian – guitars. Built from 1936 to 1956, the Gibson ES 150 is full bodied non-cutaway archtop guitar with a solid Spruce top and Mahogany for the back, sides, neck, body blocks and back bracing; the bridge and bound fingerboard are Rosewood, and for the period, it’s expected that the ‘Brazilian’ is silent. Brazilian Rosewood has become exotic and restricted, but at the time it was very common.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson L00 1930s Classic Steel String Guitar Black, 2015

On August 8, 2019 /

Built as a limited edition during 2015, the Gibson L00 1930s Classic heads back to the early days of the American steel string guitar’s meteoric rise in popularity, as it displaced the banjo. The Gibson L-00 was introduced in 1929 and built until 1946, though it made its first catalog appearance in 1932, and at the time sold for $25 new! It featured a Spruce top with Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck. Originally, the fingerboard was unbound and ‘ebonized’ – dyed black – and could have been any number of woods other than Rosewood, depending on availability and price.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson J50 Slope Shoulder Jumbo Guitar Natural, 1953

On July 25, 2019 /

The Gibson J50 Slope Shouldered jumbo model was introduced in 1947 as an ‘upgrade’ to the successful J-45, with a natural finish showing off the higher quality Spruce top. The J-50 was built until 1982, shifting to a square shoulder body design for 1969, and has been reissued from time to time. This is a relatively early Gibson J50, built during 1953 at the Gibson Parsons Street plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Built almost exactly like the iconic J45, this J50 uses Adirondack Spruce for the top and top bracing, with Mahogany for the back, sides, neck, body blocks, linings and back bracing.
