❌SOLD❌ Eastman MD515 F Style Mandolin Classic Tint, 2017

❌SOLD❌  Eastman MD515 F Style Mandolin Classic Tint, 2017

The Eastman MD515 mandolin is a high quality yet reasonably priced rendering on the classic Gibson F-style instruments introduced in the 1920s during Lloyd Loar’s tenure at Gibson. One of Orville Gibson’s radical innovations was to bring violin family construction principles into the world of guitars and mandolins, leading directly to the arched top instruments we find commonplace today.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson F2 Mandolin Black, 1911

❌SOLD❌  Gibson F2 Mandolin Black, 1911

Built from 1904 to 1934, the Gibson F2 mandolin featured the stylized ‘F’ body with scrollwork, but also an oval sound hole rather than F-holes. Oval sound holes seem to provide a bit more sound to the player, while F-hole models tend to project their sound outwards, further. It’s always fascinating to see an instrument like this Gibson F2 mandolin, now over a century old and still in good playing condition.

No Longer Available – Gibson ES330 Thinline Archtop Cherry 1969

No Longer Available - Gibson ES330 Thinline Archtop Cherry 1969

Built from 1959 to 1972, the Gibson ES330 is essentially the same as the 1961 ES-230 Epiphone Casino, a double cutaway, fully hollow model with a pair of P-90 pickups. From a short distance, the Gibson ES330 looks very much like the ES-335 models, but there is a key construction difference in the lack of the center block. The body is otherwise similar, with Laminate Maple for the top, back and sides, with Mahogany for the neck and a bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Axcess Custom Ebony, 2015

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Axcess Custom Ebony, 2015

There have been many incremental changes to the Les Paul over the years, but the Gibson Les Paul Axcess Custom – and Standard – represents one of the most radical enhancements to the core design. While the Les Paul Axcess Custom shares the basic construction concept of a carved Maple cap on a Mahogany body with a Mahogany neck. Standard Gibson BurstBuckers (depending on year) feed through individual volume and tone controls, which also provide coil splitting. On the Custom, the fingerboard is Richlite.   And as a Custom model, all the metal parts are gold plated.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES 335 Thinline Archtop Cherry 2012

❌SOLD❌  Gibson ES 335 Thinline Archtop Cherry 2012

The Gibson ES 335 changed many things when introduced in 1958, combining the feedback resistance and sustain of a solidbody with the ’rounder’ tone of an archtop. This has been one of Gibson’s most successful models, and is still in production. Here we’re looking at a Gibson ES 335 variant – the ES 335 DP, indicating that it has double pickups and a plain top.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Standard Cherryburst, 2009

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Les Paul Standard Cherryburst, 2009

The Gibson Les Paul Standard is one of the most recognizable guitars in the world, particularly when it carries the Cherry sunburst finish. Introduced in 1952 as Gibson’s response to rapidly rising interest in the electric guitar, especially models that would not feed back with rising stage volumes. Here we’re looking at a Gibson Les Paul Standard with meaningful weight relief, built at the Gibson plant in Nashville and dating to April 22nd, 2009.
