❌SOLD❌ Gibson True Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue Aged Vintage Cherry Burst,  2017 (No longer available)

The True Historic Series from Gibson Custom feature replica-level detail, from plastics recreated based on lab analysis of original 50’s parts, to double-carved top and neck profiles and thin, hand-sanded finishes, they are the most complete, accurate and refined recreations of the guitars that form the mid-century legend of Gibson’s solid body range. The True Historic 1959 Les Paul Standard is considered by many to be the pinnacle of Gibson’s mid-century solid body electric guitars.

❌SOLD❌ C F Martin 000-18 Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 1956

❌SOLD❌  C F Martin 000-18 Steel String Acoustic Guitar, 1956

The C F Martin 000-18 is one of the classic American guitars, used by countless players since its introduction in 1908, 110 years ago. The design has undergone many changes but the 000-18 remains a very versatile instrument. The well-worn example seen here dates to 1956 and was built at the C F Martin facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It’s built with a spruce top, mahogany for the sides, back, and neck, with rosewood for the fingerboard, bridge and headplate.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-175 Steve Howe Signature Cutaway Archtop Sunburst, 2002

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES-175 Steve Howe Signature Cutaway Archtop Sunburst, 2002

The Gibson ES-175 is a fully hollow, archtop electric guitar. As such, in a situation like an arena stage with rock band volumes, it should feed back to the point of detonation, but Howe made it work. Since the late 1940’s, Gibson has used maple laminates on guitars like this because of its improved feedback rejection compared to the solid maple and spruce used on acoustic archtops.

❌ SOLD ❌ Eastman E20D-SB Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2005

❌ SOLD ❌ Eastman E20D-SB Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2005

The Eastman E20D is the less decorated cousin to the Eastman E40D we posted recently, but even without the decorations it’s an impressive and classy guitar.
This example was built at the Eastman plant in China during 2005 and has been both played in and well looked after. It’s set up for bluegrass use, meaning that the action is a little higher for spirited playing, competing with other percussively loud instruments like banjos and mandolins.
