Gibson ES-339 Thinline Memphis Tobacco Sunburst, 2011

On July 28, 2023 /

The Gibson ES-339 was built from 2007 until the Gibson Memphis plant closed in 2019, and the 339 is now built in Nashville with some small changes. In 1996, Gibson launched the short-lived ES-336, a scaled-down version of the classic ES-335. This model retained the key playability elements of the 335 in terms of scale length, fingerboard width and hardware selection.

SOLD‼ Fender Telecaster ‘Don’ Blonde, 1968

On July 18, 2023 /

Built during 1968, we’ve nicknamed this beautiful aged-blonde Fender Telecaster ‘Don’ in reference to the letters once affixed to the top. Over time, the blonde finish darkened to a lovely butterscotch tone and when the letters were removed, the lighter finish remained. The Fender Telecaster has proven to be an excellent illustration of design fitting its purpose, and for nearly 75 years this model has been built and sold with really only minor variations.

Gibson ES-135H Thinline Ebony, 2000

The Gibson ES-135H Thinline was the ‘Humbucker’ equipped version of the ES-135, a single-cut Semi-Hollow Archtop built in Memphis from 1991 to 2004. Many of these models used P-100 pickups – a stacked humbucker with the outline of a P-90. Some models used a stop tailpiece, others as seen here a standard Tune-O-Matic and Trapeze tailpiece combination. The tuners used here are Grover Roto-Matics with metal keystone buttons.
