❌SOLD❌ Gibson Memphis ES-339 Thinline Electric Cherry Red, 2013

❌SOLD❌  Gibson Memphis ES-339 Thinline Electric Cherry Red, 2013

The Gibson Memphis ES-339 was built from 2007 until the Gibson Memphis plant closed in 2019, and the 339 is now built in Nashville with some small changes. In 1996, Gibson launched the short-lived ES-336, a scaled-down version of the classic ES-335. This model retained the key playability elements of the 335 in terms of scale length, fingerboard width and hardware selection.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Firebird Studio Vintage Burst, 2017

❌SOLD❌  Gibson Firebird Studio Vintage Burst, 2017

The Gibson Firebird Studio was a simplified expression of the original Firebird V design, using a set neck, full-sized humbuckers and ‘Non Reverse’ headstock. It seems to have been discontinued in the recent past. In a number of ways, the Firebird Studio is a mixture of the original ‘Reverse’ Firebird aesthetics and ‘Non-Reverse’ construction techniques.

❌SOLD❌ Martin & Coupa Guitar, 1840s

❌SOLD❌  Martin & Coupa Guitar, 1840s

Here is another rarity – an 1840’s Martin & Coupa guitar, built in Nazareth PA for John Coupa at 385 Broadway (Upstairs!) in New York. It is extraordinary that an instrument like this Martin & Coupa guitar could be in all original and playable condition, complete with its original “coffin” case, over 160 years after its production! To give a little chronological perspective, this instrument would have been delivered to its first owner by stagecoach and riverboat 20 years before the American Civil War.
