Up for sale is a fabulous 1956 Gibson ES-295 in all gold. I've always loved this model and anytime we have an opportunity to get one in the shop we jump at it. This particular example is largely original, has its original finish and no breaks or repairs. This ES-295 had a Bigsby or other tailpiece installed at one point and although there are no additional screw holes on the face of the body there is a filled end pin hole on the butt of the body. There are two finish marks on either side of the bridge as well as finish wear likely left from a coil cable sitting on the face of the body. These small flaws aside this 295 is a wonderful playing / sounding instrument and is a great collector grade vintage Gibson. Pro setup in house and comes complete with an era correct brown Lifton hard case.
NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
