❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Special Cherry, 2010

❌SOLD❌  Gibson Les Paul Special Cherry, 2010

The Gibson Les Paul Special first appeared in 1955, as the fourth version of the now-classic model. The first was the 1952 Gold-Top Les Paul, which was revised in 1953 and 1954 to allow for a steeper neck angle and the introduction of first a stop-bar bridge and then the Tune-O-Matic and stop tailpiece combination.

❌SOLD❌  Ratliff R5 F-Style Mandolin Sunburst, 2005

The Ratliff R5 mandolin is built by hand in Church Hill, Tennessee, part of a small lineup of F style and A style mandolins. The company was originally started to produce left-handed F-Style instruments, but has grown to produce right hand models, and offers both F hole and oval hole versions. This Ratliff R5 seems to be a discontinued model, superseded by the slightly more elaborate R5 ‘Master Model’.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Memphis ESDT-335 Figured Natural, 2012

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Memphis ESDT-335 Figured Natural, 2012

Here’s a very nicely figured and very good condition Gibson Memphis ESDT-335 in gloss natural finish, dated to Jul 11 2012 at the now-closed Gibson Memphis plant. The Gibson Memphis ESDT-335 is a slight variation on the standard ES-335, with the ‘ES’ standing as always for ‘Electric Spanish’. ‘Spanish’ refers to how the guitar is held and played, with one of the few other primary designations being ‘EH’ for ‘Electric Hawaiian’.

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.

Gibson ES-137 Thinline BlueBurst, 2006 / *No Longer Available*

Gibson ES-137 Thinline BlueBurst, 2006 / *No Longer Available*

Introduced in Nashville during 2002, the Gibson ES-137 thinline is intended to combine two of Gibson’s most successful designs – the resonance of the thinline archtop ES models, and the solidity of the Les Paul classic. However, this instrument is thicker than a thinline model, and uses mahogany instead of maple for the center block. Bringing together the Florentine cutaway, arch top body with the solid mahogany center block, and using most of the hardware from a Les Paul including the pickups, tune-a-matic bridge and stop tailpiece, the ES-137 thinline is a very versatile guitar.
