⚌Reduced‼ Gibson ES-350T Thinline Archtop Electric Wine Red, 1978

On June 3, 2023 /

The Gibson ES-350T (or ES-350TD to the early 1960s) is a thin-bodied, single cutaway fully hollow archtop electric built from 1955 to 1963 with a 23.5 inch scale length, and from 1977 to 1993 with a 25.5 inch scale. It started as the full-bodied, single-cutaway, 25.5 inch scale length single P-90 ES-350 Premiere in 1947. The ES-350 models were used by a number of top artists in the 1950s, most notably Chuck Berry. At introduction in 1955, the Gibson ES-350T shared several things with the also-new Byrdland, particularly the 23.5 inch scale length.

Fender MusicMaster Red, 1975

On May 31, 2023 /

Here we’re looking at a Fender MusicMaster in Red finish, built during 1975 in Fullerton, California during the era of CBS ownership. This 24 inch scale length example is in good, complete condition and has some dents and finish wear expected after 48 years. This very cool guitar plays well looks great and sounds good. The 24 inch scale doesn’t feel very short – it is also the same scale length as the considerably more elaborate Fender Jaguar.
