Sold: Price drop: Gibson ES-275 thinline, 2017, Satin Baroque Gold, £1900 - now £1750
What's Hot
The downsizing continues at DB1 Towers. I've decided that I can live without this little beauty, as I'm trying to get down to about six guitars, from the heady days of about fifty-five.
The reason behind the sale is because I've got an ES-335, and this has a similar vibe. It's thinline and it's semi-hollow, and really does have that 335 feel about it. If you find a 335 a bit of a stretch to play, the geometry of this makes it more like an ES-330 in terms of reach - it's about half an inch longer than a 330, top to tail, so a bit easier on the arms if your arms don't possess the slightly simian qualities that mine appear to do. They're very handy for picking apples though.
I bought this from young (well, youngish)
@Hattigol - I hadn't really fancied it as a concept, because I had the full fat ES-275 at the time, but I preferred this - it has a lovely, comfortable neck. The contrast between the gold finish and the matt-turning-shiny-with-wear black finish on the sides, back, neck and headstock is really sweet, I think and has a nice contrast with the binding.
I'm not really looking for trades - maybe a hollowbody Gretsch, or a Gibson/Martin acoustic of medium size upwards, but I'd prefer a straight sale as my dog's vets bills came to more than the price of the ES-275 last month, and I had some business expenses that made my legs water.
As usual, I'd prefer not to post, but don't mind driving to meet up - the seedier the location, the better, of course, and public conveniences or heavily foliaged outdoor areas are naturally preferred. I'm prepared to be fully masked and to wear rubber gloves, but that's how I've been for decades. I'd prefer a bank transfer or cash because frankly I just don't trust you I'm a Luddite. Anyway, if you're interested in any of the above - guitar/public conveniences/masks, just let me know. You weirdo.

Scotty Moore vibes with this one..
whoever buys it is in for a treat
And it's worth buying just to meet @DB1 - there is nobody on here with a finer array of gimp suits...
Oh, don't be modest.
