    Beautiful Guitar,  is that mahogany ply on the back?  I know Gibson did them that way for a while, but they are pretty rare.

    Yes I think the mahogany back and sides was a late 80s only thing. I have read that it makes the tone darker but I'm not sure about that as its only a laminate- either way I only have one so no comparison to make :-)

  • By the way I may consider trades on this along the lines of

    A Boogie combo
    JCM 800 combo
    335 / Les Paul Mij and above

  • Hi,

    I have a Gibson Memphis Custom Shop ES 339 in Figured Light Burst made in 2012 which is a gorgeous thing but as I have stopped gigging now I have to divest myself of some of the collection.

    An ES 175 would fit the bill as my jazz aspirations (having played with a jazz band for some years) really require a bit of work and a full jazz f-hole acoustic is the way to go. I seem to be as much an acoustic player these days as an electric one anyway

    Swop would be appropriate from my point of view and I don't mind meeting halfway, which would mean (as I live in east central Scotland) somewhere around Kendal,

    Interested?

    Photos and any further info gladly supplied.

  • Hi Lindsay- a 339 isn't of too much interest I am afraid unless it was to sell on and at your current valuation that wouldn't be possible. Thanks
