GIBSON 1956 ES-140 3/4.


 

  • CONDITION: Excellent/ Nr Mint.
  • TOP: Archtop.
  • NECK: Maple.
  • F/BOARD: Rosewood.


    This is a lovely, rare, and very special little guitar. I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it. How could it survive over 50 years and stay in this near mint condition. I looked at it and could't believe it, it's almost like new. Every thing is original apart from the tuners, they have been changed (we will supply original 50's Gibson tuners that will fit exactly) also the knobs. The guitar plays great and the one P90 pick-up sounds lovely. This guitar is a scaled down version of a ES-175 and I have never seen one like this before. This is the first issue model with the wide body, it later changed to the ES-140T thin body in 1957. I don't think you will find another ES-140 in this sort of condition. Factory Order Code/Batch number is V4974 8. Supplied with an non-original padded gig bag.



  • PRICE………..£1995. inc. VAT.
