Description

This 1954 Gibson ES-140 3/4 packs full-size charm into a short-scale frame. It’s been refretted, so it plays cleanly, and the single P-90 delivers plenty of bite and midrange growl when pushed. The original pickguard is missing, but nothing else gets in the way—just the essentials, aged in all the right ways. The finish shows wonderful signs of wear, with checking and play marks that speak to years of use rather than time in a case. Well played and worn in, this one feels lively in the hands and sounds every bit its age. Comes with the original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
