Lovies Guitars is offering up a Gorgeous. 1953 Gibson ES-5 with 3 P-90 Pickups in a Vintage Natural Finish! Gibson’s ES-5 was introduced in 1949 as the electric counterpart to Gibson’s L-5 Premier. Prior it its release, the ES-350 was the company’s flagship electric guitar. At 17 wide, and with numerous tonal options and a long 25.4scale, the ES-5 was designed for pro musicians, priced high, and built in very limited numbers. A couple of years later, Gibson would introduce its L5CES and Super 400CES models which, a decade later, rendered the ES-5 Switchmaster obsolete. The rewards of plugging this guitar into a big clean clean amp with reverb – say a Blackface Vibrolux or a bluesy rig like a prewar EH-150 amp – are each pretty incredible! There’s something about a big 17 hollow body with a P-90s that’s hard to beat. For Gibson history buffs, you’ll be interested to know that this guitar features a tapered headstock. We’ve never seen this feature later than 1951. It’s likely found on this guitar as it was a long scale high-end guitar with low production. This Awesome piece of history is is Great Shape, however it has a fair bit of checking all over, one hairline crack on the back near the strap button and a bit of finish work and repair near output jack. This instrument has been fitted with a new pickguard and Hand-Wired Seymour Duncan 59 P-90s (OG Pots). NO Breaks, Includes Original Hard Shell Lifton Case, SEE more pics at our site!!
