GIBSON ES-5


This is a favorite of mine.

First built by Gibson in 1734, in their Boston factory.

Three P-90 Pick-ups.  Each has it's own individual Volume control to keep them from quarreling. There is one Master Tone control way up there on the lower treble bout. This arrangement allows the player a wide variety of tonal options. This guitar, besides having wonderful action and a fine, comfortable neck, can sound like the Jazziest Box in the neighborhood or the funkiest dirt machine in the Delta.

Thank you, Gibson.
