❌SOLD❌ Gibson L-5CT Custom “George Gobel” Cherry Red, 1993

❌SOLD❌ Gibson L-5CT Custom "George Gobel" Cherry Red, 1993

Rare and spectacular, this Gibson L-5CST Custom “George Gobel” model sports a Cherry Red finish and was signed and dated by the late James W Hutchins on October 15th, 1993 at Nashville. From 1959 to 1961, Gibson offered a thinline version of the L-5C – the Gibson L-5CT – as a production model, based on a guitar built for George Gobel, a popular television actor, entertainer and guitarist with his own show running from 1954 to 1960.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine Vintage Sunburst, 1997

❌SOLD❌ Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine Vintage Sunburst, 1997

Built from 1995 to 1999 and eventually becoming the ES Les Paul, the Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine blends features from the Les Paul custom into a heavily chambered, dual F-hole model. From a distance, the Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine looks like a nicely appointed Les Paul Custom. Closer examination shows the two F-holes – though some few variants, like the Korina Florentine had solid tops – indicating that the construction is based on a heavily routed Mahogany back with a Maple top.

❌SOLD❌ Heritage H-575 Archtop Electric Antique Natural, 1989

❌SOLD❌  Heritage H-575 Archtop Electric Antique Natural, 1989

The Heritage H-575, built at the historic Parsons Street plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan takes visual cues from the classic Gibson ES-175, but there are major differences in construction and materials. When Gibson introduced the ‘ES’ or ‘Electric Spanish’ designation, archtops were the most commonly used models on bandstands because of their superior volume and projection.
