Gibson Custom Shop Historic ES-5 Switchmaster Vintage Sunburst at The Guitar Showroom UK

Gibson’s Custom Art & Historic division reissued the fabulous Switchmaster in 1996, so this is possibly one of the first re-issues, and is the 1st production model in November 1996. The guitar has some lovely patina to the finish, a few minor play marks marks and a couple of scratches but overall is in lovely condition. 3 incredible sounding pickups individually or all together! Having both volume & tone control for each pickup allows for some lovely blending of all 3 pickups, superb versatility and tone.
The guitar has been fully serviced and setup with D’Addario Chromes, 12’s and comes with original hardcase and a Custom Art & Historic hang tag..
“The ES-5 combines the acclaimed features of the L-5 with the finest method of electronic guitar amplification. Three separately controlled, adjustable magnetic pickups reproduce the full, rich tones and harmonics to make the ES-5 truly ‘the instrument of a thousand voices.'” - Gibson catalog, circa 1951.
This Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster comes with it’s 3 ’57 Classic Humbucking Pickups and separate volume and tone controls for each pickup make this one versatile guitar for jazz or blues styles.”
