1949 Gibson ES-350 Tobacco Sunburst

Up for sale, a wonderful old Gibson ES-350 with a lot of mods but a ton of Mojo as well. Built in 1949, this guitar has a new pickup (StewMac Golden Age P-90) in the neck position, but retains the original P-90 bridge pickup. It has the original pots and bumblebee caps, too. Two control knobs were added plus the original upper bout control knob has been converted to a three-way selector switch. New bone nut and Repro Rosewood bridge.

These and a few other mods (see Modifications list below) take a lot of the vintage premium out of the price, and we love it when we can pass on a great vintage guitar like this at a reduced price.

This guitar sounds amazing and plays great. Comes with its original Lifton hardshell case, too. A real sweetheart of a guitar.
