1954 Gibson ES-140 – Sunburst – 3/4
1954 Gibson ES-140 – Sunburst – 3/4 incl. black soft case
Rare 1954 Gibson ES-140 3/4 hollow archtop guitar in Sunburst. The guitar has been played, so there is some visible play-wear and weatherchecking, typical for a 63(!) year old guitar, but very good overall condition for its age. No cracks, breaks or other damages! This is the "thick-body" version which has been discontinued in 1956. The original Kluson "3 on a plate" tuners have been rebuttoned and still work fine and the single P-90 pickup with its soapbar cover sound fantastic. Comes in black chip-board case.
