Description

An excellent example of a mid 1950s Gibson ES-5, sporting the original (not to mention beautiful) sunburst of the time. With three original Gibson P-90s, this guitar has plenty of tonal variety, ready to rip at the local jazz jam, or in the studio. With only minor modifications and repairs, this is the perfect guitar if you are looking for something just a bit different. Comes with the original Gibson Lifton case.
