Gibson ES-225T Thinline Archtop Sunburst, 1956

On April 23, 2024 /

Introduced in 1955 and built until 1959, the Gibson ES-225T was one of the first three new Thinline guitars with the Byrdland and the ES-350T. The ES-225T had the lowest price of the three and used the Les Paul trapeze tailpiece. Most models sported a single P-90 pickup in the middle position, though from 1956 to 1959 the ES-225TD – thinline and double pickup – was available.

Gibson ES-150D Electric Double Cutaway Archtop Walnut, 1974

On February 16, 2023 /

Here’s another rarity – the Gibson ES-150D, 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-150D is unusual.

❌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 Les Paul Deluxe GoldTop, 1969

On June 29, 2022 /

Here we’re looking at a very early Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, one of the first made and one of the few built before the introduction of the ‘Pancake’ body and headstock Volute. This example was likely built in late 1968 or very early 1969. It is in good working order and appears to be almost entirely original. Notably, the original plastic output jack plate has gone the way of most of those, and a metal replacement is fitted.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Pre-CBS Stratocaster Sunburst, 1964

On May 18, 2022 /

Here’s something we see fewer of – a Fender Pre-CBS Stratocaster in Sunburst, with a body date of 9/63 and neck date of March 1964. This type of ‘date mismatch’ has been common in some periods of Fender production. The factory would build and finish a larger number of bodies and store them, with the necks built closer to the sale and delivery date. The potentiometers date to 1963.
