Good condition Gibson ES-5 Swichmaster from 1958. Signs of ageing can be seen. No breaks. Neck is straight. Refretted at some point. Swittch replaced. Comes with original Gibson hard case.
The ES-5 was intended to be an electric version of their popular Gibson L-5 acoustic jazz model. The ES-5 was introduced in 1949, and offered several innovative features which have become standard within the industry. The ES-5 was the first model of the ES-series to offer three pickups. Unlike other multiple-pickup models of its era, the ES-5 used three different volume knobs (one for each pickup and one master tone) rather than a selector switch, to offer players improved control over their tone.
