Sold - 1953 Gibson ES-350, P90's, original case, Bigsby

DB1

Price drop to £5250 for this week. I'll still consider trades.

Here's a video - it's not me playing, so it's safe to listen.

Jeez that guitar is absolutely gorgeous.

DB1

Thanks! Yes, it's a lovely thing - I'm sorely tempted to bring it back home with me from the dealers, and possibly will collect it next weekend. It's on Reverb at the moment at £6199, with 68 people watching it. I'm trying to be good and sell it, as I've been through horrendous expense over the past four months and really need to put money back,  but no-one's bought it yet and I'm thinking that I might as well enjoy it.

Still £5250 (and poss trades) just for this week for Fretboard chums. 

DB1

On hold while a deal gets sorted over the next few days.

Now sold to a forum member - thanks to admin for the opportunity to advertise this fabulous guitar and to be able to write such complete drivel along the way. Congratulations to the new owner.

The deal was actually handled by James at The Guitar Showroom near Heathfield in Sussex, who was also selling the guitar for me and facilitated the deal as it involved a guitar in trade that I wasn't able to take, but he could.  His commission rates are too low, really, particularly as offers all of the dealer facilities that I, well, don't. No affiliation apart from that I do a lot of deals with him and I think he's excellent, and would recommend him for sales, purchases and commission sales.

Congratulations Dave, James and to the new owner. What a special buy.

Mazeltov @DB1. I'm sure it is a beaut. Congratulations to the new owner too.

Thanks, chaps. Indeed, it is a special thing - it was a difficult ,and purely financial, decision to sell it. But I'm glad it's gone to a good home, and to a forum member as well.

Delighted for you Dave... shame you never had a lay-by meet up though....
