sold ;... GIBSON ES 195 (Firebird Meets Falcon)

Dominic

FS: GIBSON ES 195 (Firebird Meets Falcon)

Immaculate condition and a real head-turner.

A rare bird indeed, essentially a slim ES 175 with a Trini Lopez neck.

2013 model -only lightly played.

No longer in production.

P94 pickups (which are great).

Highly figured / flamed trans-Amber and Gold appointments.

Essentially the Gibson 'Gretsch'!

Apart from the unusual Rockabilly looks this guitar is so versatile

it can be Joe Pass, Chet or Ted Nugent at the flick of a switch ...

it twangs, it mellows out and it really rocks!

I'll leave the demonstration to one of my more promising students Mr Greg Koch!

Sorry no trades.

£1,475

I do really like the Florentine cutaways - thinline, fatline, whatever. That's a beaut!

Simply put: if you can find a need for them, you can have both testicles... and kidneys. That is stunning.

Dominic

I would do that deal if you'll throw in a nice bottle of Chianti and some Mustard

Teyeplayer

Mate, it’s yours. Dine/done!

Is this the one that goes back and forth between you and Paul? The one you both think you can live without and instantly regret?

Not my bag particularly, a little too gold for me but this thing is an absolute dream to play and sounds MAGNIFICENT!!

Dominic

The very same one ...........it's an addictive thing
I already offered it back to him for the 3rd time but we are both a bit financially pushed otherwise it wouldn't be going anywhere because it is a really special guitar ..........just listen to what Koch can do with it in the video ;so many sounds and so versatile it really goes from snarling rock beast to the sweetest mellow jazz box and yet it can sound (and look) so Rockabilly with a bit of slapback
It particularly loves Voxy type amps ........amazing combination ......marriage made in heaven

Oh my! I haven't bought, or even thought about buying, a guitar in about 5 years. 

Wish I had a spare £1500 right now as I'd be buying that in seconds.
