Description

This 1992 Herb Ellis ES-165 is a formidable jazz box with deep body resonance and mellow tone. Equipped with a 490R, it offers plenty of sound with a nice comfortable neck profile. It features an interesting factory "happy accident" as the headstock logo was placed atop a finished over inlaid Gibson Crown head stock. The inlaid logo and crown have shrunk over time revealing their silhouette beneath the Herb Ellis and Gibson silk screens. Otherwise, it remains in excellent condition cosmetically.

Includes 70's Gibson hard shell 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.
