Made in New York in 1951, this guitar dates from before the takeover by Gibson. A little like the Gibson ES-150 from the early 1940s (we currently have one in the shop) the pickup is placed near the bridge and will suit fans of blues, jazz and any lover of retro sounds. The instrument is very playable with a straight neck and a comfortable action. No breaks no repairs. Non-original but very functional waffle tuners, like the Les Pauls of the late 60s. Modern case.
