1991 Gibson ES165 Herb Ellis Limited Edition

Gibson ES 165 Limited Edition in 1991.



Its Gibson 59 model pickup is quite powerful and, in my opinion, boomy.




There is a minor scratch on the neck. That's about only the degradation it has from the original condition.




Actually the maple on all over the body is quite beautiful and is getting more and more beautiful as time ellapses.

Has an ebony bridge from Germany and that's the only mod for this guitar. It works excellent with a little Fender amp as I mentioned in a previous posting. The only con about this guitar is, it's too heavy.
