Vintage 1955 Gibson ES-150 archtop electric guitar

This vintage 1955 Gibson ES-150 archtop electric guitar came through the shop a few years ago. It's a fine example of a vintage Gibson archtop electric with single P-90 style pickup. I'm always a vintage Gibson guitar buyer but I especially love the electric guitars from the 1950s. Please contact me here to sell a vintage Gibson guitar. 

"... The body of the ES-150 is 17" wide and 21" long, the same size and shape as the L-5. This guitar features the famous Gibson streamlined neck with easy play action for instant response, and in every respect is equipped with parts of the finest quality. Top grade Maple is used for the top, back and rim and the Gibson regular dark brown finish is highlighted on the top by rich golden sunburst shading."  Gibson catalog, 1950
