❌SOLD❌ Gibson J185 Original Jumbo Steel String Antique Natural, 2005

On February 7, 2022 /

Here we have a Gibson J185 Original Jumbo bodied steel string in Antique Natural finish, built during 2005 at the Gibson Acoustic plant in Bozeman, Montana. The J-185 is a very good but likely under-appreciated guitar, being overshadowed by the better known and slightly larger J-200. The Gibson J185 and J200 have many similarities and the key differences are not always seen at first glance. Both feature the Jumbo body shape, Sitka Spruce top with Figured Maple for the sides and back, and Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Custom Shop SG Metallic Emerald Green, 1993

On February 7, 2022 /

Here we have another rarity – from September 1993, a Gibson Custom Shop SG in Emerald Green Metallic finish with gold hardware and pearloid pickguard! The Gibson SG had been produced for three years before it gained the name ‘SG’. It was originally introduced in 1961 as a complete redesign of the then-unpopular single cutaway, carved Maple top Les Paul model. An additional driving factor was addressing Fender’s characterization of Gibson as old-fashioned.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson S1 Solidbody Maple Natural, 1978

On February 7, 2022 /

Here we’re looking at a Gibson S1 built in Nashville TN, with a date of April 19 1978. This guitar is built exclusively of Maple, used for the three-piece body, three-piece neck, and fingerboard. This example is in largely original condition, except for the bridge pickup. Some time ago, the original single coil was removed, put in the case, and replaced with what looks like a Duncan Hot Rails.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson SG Standard Bass, Heritage Cherry 2018

On February 3, 2022 /

The Gibson SG Standard Bass is a rebuild of the classic Gibson EB-3 basses used from 1953 into the mid 1960’s, particularly by Jack Bruce in Cream. Gibson introduced their first electric bass in 1953, the violin-shaped Gibson Electric Bass as a response to Fender’s ground-breaking 1951 Precision Bass.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Standard Sienna Burst, 2005

On February 1, 2022 /

This beautiful Gibson Les Paul Standard, built during 2005, sports a nicely figured Maple top set off by a Sienna Burst finish. This example is very resonant and very solid, with no apparent weight relief. Following the original combination of a carved Maple top on a Mahogany back and a Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard, this Gibson Les Paul Standard Sienna is in overall good condition with light wear to the back from contact with the player’s clothing.

SOLD Gibson Byrdland Thinline Archtop Electric Natural, 1976

On January 28, 2022 /

The Gibson Byrdland appeared in 1955 as a custom order for Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. These two were top Nashville session guitarists who wanted full archtop tone, but in a more comfortable thinner body and a shorter scale length – 23.5 inches, rather than Gibson’s standard 24.75 inches – to allow easier access to complex chords fingerings. The Byrdland was the first of Gibson’s thinline archtop guitars, with many more to follow. The design was so successful that it was quickly promoted to production status.
