Gibson / ES-5 Switchmaster / 1956 / Sunburst / Guitar

Stunning vintage Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster with original brown Lifton case plus it's original hand tag with matching serial number - what more can you ask for?

This one is a real beauty and has some of the nicest flame I have seen on a Switchmaster, not too overt, just tasty and delicious.

Everything is 100% original except the switch tip. The original one is slightly broken at the base but could still be used if needs be and it is in a bag inside the case pocket so you can put it back on it you prefer originality over functionality. The switch itself is fine btw.

Beautiful to not just look at, but to also play with a dead straight neck that has no issues and a low fast action. The 3 totally original P-90's can jazz, growl or bite as much as you like and when you slap the switch in position 4 (all), you have infinite blend of any of these cool characteristics.

Rare to see them in this fine condition with no issues, no breaks or repairs and all original with the hang tag.

It is in excellent plus, almost near mint condition with just a few minor marks and dings here and there. Please see the pictures for all the details.

​A handsome, big dude, if ever there was one...
