A Cherry Finish Adds a Luscious Twist to a '50s Classic

Limited Run $4,999

One of the guitars that kick-started rock and roll gains an elegant '60s cherry twist, with traditional 'bail' tailpiece, MHS P-90 pickups, and a vintage-certified look and playing feel.

A bit pricey, but it sure looks cool! I wouldn't mind having an ES-295.

 

[Tig]

Remove the pick guard and the last 9 in the price and I'd be all over that.

 

[Tiltsta]

I like the look, but, yeah, I agree with Ellen on the price.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Ugh, that bridge.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Hot, but it needs moar Bigsby (and to cost less).

 

[jaxn slim]

Sexay

 

[bsman]

I'd bigsby-ize that in two heartbeats, replace the PU covers with black, replace the PG with a black one, and only pay about $2K for it. Otherwise, it rocks.

 

[Virgman]

I can't approve of this guitar with all the people starving in New Jersey.

 

[Flamencology]

Meh.

 

[jp_nyc]

Not in my price range, but it sure it pretty.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Nope. To much money in HJs pocket, + crappy bridge.

 

[Modern Saint]

Tobacco Sunburst please!

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

That's pretty sweet.

Alas, I'm one more for whom the budget is found wanting.

 

[Coralkong]

s'OK.

If someone gave it to me, great.
But I would never put out $5K for it.

As a matter of fact, if someone gave it to me, I would sell it and buy 2 or 3 really nice guitars that I REALLY want.

 

[Elias Graves]

Not with that bridge.
With a trapeze and a regular bridge, yes, please.
If you give me the guitar, I can mod it, though. Could be a fun project.

 

[BlackCat]

Funny I just read in Deke Dickerson's latest book about him picking up an original 52 for about half that money. Admittedly it was not in pristine condition.

 

[LeftyTom]

That bridge is woesome, and the neck looks too small for that body.

 

[mnewb1]

beautiful but too pricey

 

[Ignored Member]

If I'm spending $5000 on a guitar, the bridge really needs to intonate perfectly.
