Product Description

This rare Gibson ES300 one P90 pickup has an arched spruce  top, walnut back, and sides; solid Honduras mahogany neck with a 1 3/.4” nut 2.10 at the 10th fret, 0.92″ at the 3rd fret and 1.02 at the 10th fret. Great action, clear spruce tone A 25 1/2” scale Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge. It appears quite a few lacked serial number and for numbers, but this guitar is undeniably Gibson thought this instrument may still be dated fairly closely by construction details. The minute I picked up this guitar I realized that it had a neck very reminiscent of the majority of Bucky’s Archtops that he has brought into our shop; always a little fuller and a little wider than most. The tone is full and robust with great clarity, also similar to many of Bucky’s archtops. Normal finish wear , lots of lacquer cracks running parallel to the grain, lots of small chips or dings especially on the top and  also showing signs of some overspray, and great structural integrity . The back is free of buckle rash, but has a slightly darker area on the bottom of the lower bout. Original hardware includes adjustable P-90 pickup; nickel Kluson ‘f-hole’ retired trapeze tailpiece with f holes; compensated rosewood bridge; clear gold barrel tone and volume knobs, fully operable adjustable truss rod, nickel Kluson open back tuners, and replaced pickguard. The playability is superb, and the bridge still has room for adjustment, both up and down.  The original P90 sounds beautiful, delivering the classic tone one would expect.
Comes in case of the same era.
