Gibson Les Paul Supreme Translucent Black, 2012

On January 12, 2023 /

Introduced in 2003 and built at the Nashville Tennessee shop, the Gibson Les Paul Supreme is a high-end take on the classic design and features carved, highly figured Maple top and back. The construction of the Gibson Les Paul Supreme differs from the standard Les Paul though it uses the same basic materials as the Les Paul Custom. The carved top and back set are bookmatched, highly flamed Maple, on either side of a chambered Mahogany core.

Here’s an always-fun guitar – a 1965 Gibson ES-125TDC thinline cutaway archtop electric guitar with a pair of P-90’s and several upgrades! This guitar plays very well, and like the double-cutaway ES-330 or Epiphone Casino, is very light and very versatile.

Gibson ES-335TDC Cherry Red, 1966

On January 11, 2023 /

Here’s a very nice Thinline, Double Pickup, Cherry finish Gibson ES-335TDC, Union Made during 1966 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Thinline concept was introduced in 1955 to produce a more compact hollowbody archtop electric instrument less prone to feedback. For the 1958 model year, this was combined with a solid, very feedback resistant center block to create the revolutionary semi-hollow ES-335 – which also carried Gibson’s new humbucking pickups.

Intended as a companion to the then-new Les Paul solidbody, the Gibson J-160E was one of the first mass production electrified steel string guitars. This model was discontinued in 1979, and is occasionally re-issued.
