Product Description
1950’s Gibson es-150, for # 9299 has superb playability one newly refretted, and the bridge still has room for adjustment, both up and down. The original P90 sounds beautiful, delivering the classic tone one would expect.The body is in amazing shape, structurally rock solid with very uniform cracking in the lacquer indicting it’s age, which is also evident in all the wear on the back of the neck from years of playing.
17” wide laminated body with arched top & arched back. P-90 pick-up in neck position. Input jack on side of body. Body has single ply binding on front and back. Beautiful hand sprayed nitro cellulous Blonde finish. The 24.75” scale makes it easy to play chords & bend notes. The neck is very comfortable and typical of Gibson’s from this period. The neck feels very similar to an L-5 from this era. The action is low and can easily be adjusted lower or higher using the adjustment wheels on the bridge.
