Here we’re looking at a just-post WW2, Gibson SJ Slope Shouldered Dreadnought Sunburst, 1946 built in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Introduced in 1942, the Gibson SJ has stayed in production to the present day though sometimes with name changes, including the ‘Country Western’ name.

Gibson 1957 Les Paul Junior Reissue Sunburst, 2007

On February 10, 2023 /

Built in the Nashville Custom Shop, the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Junior Reissue is a faithful recreation of a simple yet surprisingly versatile instrument. Launched in 1954 as an entry level, student model with a single cutaway and single P90 pickup, the Les Paul Junior had its first major revision in 1958 with a second cutaway to the body.

Guild Capri CE-100D Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1965

On February 9, 2023 /

Here we’re looking at a Guild Capri CE-100D from 1965 in overall good condition, looking like it has been used as intended over the years. Built from 1956 until 1982, the Guild Capri CE-100D was a fully hollow body archtop electric with a Florentine cutaway and a pair of pickups. The CE-100D was the Double pickup version of the single-pickup CE-100; at first, Franz pickups were used, then DeArmond, and in 1963 Guild’s new Anti-Hum pickups were fitted.

Gibson LP ’59 Reissue Lemonburst Les Paul, 2013

Here we have a very nice Gibson LP ’59 Reissue sporting a Lemonburst figured Maple top, built during 2013 at Gibson Nashville. The now-classic cherry sunburst or shaded Les Paul top first appeared in late May of 1958; previously, the two available finishes were a Gold Top for the basic model and Black for the Custom.

Gibson Moderne Reissue Black, 2012

On February 7, 2023 /

Here’s a reissue version one of the rarest of all Gibson guitars – the Gibson Moderne, designed and registered in June 1957 but only produced in limited numbers from 1981 to 1983! This gloss black 2012 reissue version of the Gibson Moderne differs from any 1957 prototype and the 1980’s run in its use of Mahogany for the body rather than Korina, the lack of string pivots on the new V-shaped headstock, a gold Gibson decal logo rather than the cast type, and a considerably lower price.
