How utterly lovely. The ES-295 is on the wanted list. I have a reissue in red which is sensationally good, but an original is the cats whiskers!

That neck's seen a lot of playtime. Always the sign of a good one. Beautiful guitar, glws.

Sorry to do this guys but sellers moved the goal posts a bit and now only looking for cash or a part trade that comes with £4/5k cash and a custom shop strat or similar guitar which comfortably meets value of the difference to £7k.

I owned that guitar and sold it 11 years ago to fund my Wedding!! lol.
My first vintage guitar. 
From memory the neck was refinished. It really sounded killer. That bridge is the nuts. 
I bought it at the Guitar Village in Farnham.
GLWTS.

Small world lol. How certain are you this is the same guitar? The person I am selling it for seems to be unaware of any refinishing on the neck so I would need to check in with him on that.

Amazing guitar, but those photos are killing it. They're not even remotely passable for a £100 guitar, let alone a guitar of that caliber.

It deserves better.
