❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-175 Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1964

From its launch in 1949 until it was finally discontinued in 2017, the Gibson ES-175 Archtop Electric was the benchmark guitar for working jazz guitarists. The Gibson ES-175 archtop electric was in production for such a long time because it does exactly what many jazz and rock guitarists needed it to do.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson J-160E Electric FlatTop Sunburst, 1956

Introduced in 1954, the Gibson J-160E flat top electric turned out to be one of the more successful of Gibson’s slope-shouldered dreadnoughts. Intended as a companion to the then-new Les Paul solidbody, the Gibson J-160E was one of the first mass production electrified steel string guitars. This model was discontinued in 1979, and is occasionally re-issued.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch 7655 Chet Atkins Tennessean Shaded Cherry, 1974

This Gretsch 7655, a Chet Atkins Tennessean in a shaded cherry finish, dates to October of 1974 and appears to be in very good, clean and original condition. This guitar is from the Baldwin era and was built in Booneville, Arkansas. In 1958, Gretsch launched the original Tennessean as model 6119, placing it below their very popular 6120 Chet Atkins model. The ElectroTone (sealed) single-cutaway body was thinner, and at first it had one Filter ‘Tron in the bridge position.

Gibson ES-339S Satin Black, 2016 /*No Longer Available*

On October 8, 2022   /    
Gibson ES-339S Satin Black, 2016 /*No Longer Available*

There’s a small mystery around this Gibson ES-339s Compact Thinline built in Memphis in the meaning of the ‘s’ after the ES-339 on the label. A first suspicion is to indicate a Spruce top, but that’s not the case here; the top, like the back and sides, is Maple laminate.
