Gibson ES-295 Sunburst 1956
Summary
Body: Maple
Neck: Mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard with split parallelogram inlays
Pickups/Hardware: Two single coil pickups, three-way pickup selector switch, independent volume and tone controls
Cosmetic Condition: For it's age, the body is in fantastic shape. As is expected with guitars this old, there is checking throughout the finish but it gives the guitar a great look. The body itself is very clean, with only some small dings and scratches near the tailpiece and on the cutaway. The sides have a few cracks in the finish but overall the body is structurally sound. The neck also has checking lines throughout but no major dings or scratches, just some moderate wear. The fretboard is clean and gorgeous and the headstock only has some dings along the sides. Overall, this is a fantastic vintage ES-295!
Playability: The strings are at a medium-low height, play like a dream, and fret clearly across the board.
Modifications: The pick guard has been replaced with a Gibson guard of the same era that was meant for 3-Pickup guitar. The Kluson tuners have been replaced with nickel as opposed to the original gold hardware. It seems the original owner was not fond of the gold hardware and may have rubbed most of it off. You can see remnants of it in the harder to reach areas of the guitar, such as the tuner grommets and the feet of the tailpiece. All electronics are original.
