Here a 1979 Fender Stratocaster hardtail electric guitar in Antigua Burst finish. The finish has aged in parts and the result is stunning. The guitar plays very well, all the hardware operates as it should, the electrics work flawlessly. The guitar has minimal play wear and shows signs of developing patina. You won’t find many in such a great nick. Great looker and a killer player, as you would expect from a classic fender guitar. The wood on the neck has also beautifully aged to a rich colour resulting in a satin finish. So, here we have a very playable and functional guitar with ounces of mojo and a great vintage feel to it.

Gibson ES-175, 1961/2, Autographed Pat Martino

Posted in: Gibson ES-175. Tagged: . Leave a comment

The ES-175 is a single- or dual-pickup archtop electric guitar made by Gibson. Unlike Gibson’s L5 and Super 400 guitars, the ES-175 typically was made of an all-laminate construction, which was a cheaper alternative than the existing L-5. In additional to the lesser cost, the materials selection was useful in keeping feedback at higher volumes manageable. The ES-175 has a rosewood fingerboard with parallelogram inlays, a 3″ deep body, a floating bridge, and the sound comes from a set of Gibson’s ‘59/60 PAF pickups. The fingerboard has 19 frets and tone is varied with independent volume and tone controls for each of the 2 pickups. Hardware is nickel plated. Guitar lives in its original hard case.

Here a reissue of the famous ’59 Les Paul Sunburst models that were made by Gibson in the late 1950s. Made to Vintage Old Spec (VOS) this guitar is called R9, and is made with materials similar to those from 1959-1960. Oddly, despite the current collectability and popularity and the price tag of these ’59 models, the Les Paul was actually discontinued by Gibson and replaced by the SG shape that initially was called Les Paul Model too. New to my guitars collection, this is a pretty Gibson Les Paul Guitar with killer looks due to its AA flame maple top and a killer sound to boot; for those who know the Gibson Les Paul Custom range, you will have seen some great examples of Gibson’s Custom Shop.  Guitar lives in  with Gibson Custom Case.
