What We Think

Condition: Used, Good. The peghead had to be repaired and stabilized. The tuners and the base of the bridge (though not the bridge itself) have been replaced and are non-original.

We've always had a deep appreciation for the old ES-100-series Gibsons. The early ES-series has a certain mournful tonal quality that you can't help but love. String it up with flatwounds and a nice, clean amp and you have a masterful, soulful jazz guitar. String it with roundwounds and a cranked low-wattage amp and you have a blistering blues machine.

SP Luthier Notes: The neck joint had naturally shifted over time leaving much to be desired of the guitar's action. Our luthier removed the neck then reset the neck joint to factory condition. A crack was present on the peghead of the guitar. As such our luthier stabilized, filled, and refinished the affected area. The frets as they were could not be repaired to an acceptable state so they were replaced with spec accurate fretwire and shaped into near mint condition. No further work was required.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
