Description

Similar to the ES-175 in many ways, the full-size hollow-body ES-295 sports two P90 pickups and, most noticeably, that gold finish and leaf motif on the pickguard! Oft seen being played by Scotty Moore in Elvis' band, the ES-295 has loads of mid-century vintage charm. This one comes with the original P90s and has had only modest repairs and touch-ups to keep it in working order. The tuners and knobs were replaced, and there is evidence of finish touch-up near the output jack, on the back of the neck, headstock and heel. A repaired top separation on the waist also had a little color touch-up, and the whole body has had a full clear overspray. Ships out in a hardshell case.
