You
are looking at a Gibson ES-295 arch-top guitar from 1952 with the
original hard shell case.. This guitar (and case) is in very good shape,
and plays nice. Everything is original except the pick guard and
bracket. The back of the neck and headstock were refined by the previous
owner in the 1980's. The color was matched really well. The body is all
original paint. The tuners are super clean and original. I have owned
this guitar since 1987 and believe I am the 3rd owner. Yes I wouldn't
have repainted the neck if it were my choice.
This
is one of the first rock n roll guitars ever made and used by Elvis
Presley's original guitar player Scotty Moore on the Sun Session tunes
before he moved on to a more pricey Gibson.. Later used by The Edge of
U2 and Brian Adams among others.
Local
pickup available but cash only. I will ship this guitar anywhere in the
