This Gibson EB-2 Bass was made in 1968 and still has its original orange label. This is a very nice-extra clean instrument. The neck is very straight, and the truss rod works fine. The walnut finish is near perfect with only a slight buckle rash, a few nicks and scratches, and a few minor "Gibson" finish checking issues. All the chrome parts are in place, and they show no corrosion. The case is an original yellow lined hard shell, and it is in equally nice condition. This Gibson EB-2 Bass is about as nice as they get.

This vintage Gibson Uke-1 soprano ukulele is in Excellent condition and a great player! Beautiful Mahogany, 20 1/2" total length with 9 5/16" body measuring 6 1/2" at the lower bout.

This Gibson J45/50 is in Fair to Good condition but is a great player and a classic. We're selling this 'as is' and here's the scoop (check out detail photos also) - the bridge is just barely starting to come up (can't see anything visually) and will eventually need a reglue, the top has a repaired crack near the pickguard, and a top crack on the bass side, but there's plenty of bracing in that area. There are also two small spots on the back top binding where the binding has deteriorated. Our shop had a look at it and felt none of the above detracted from the tone and none seemed to be in need of immediate repair. All that being said, this is a great player as it is now. The tone is great, the look is classic and this Gibson J45/50 even comes with a hard case. $895 Consignment item, sorry no free shipping. s/n: 00169881 USED

Loaded with Burstbuckers and a 3-way switch, this is pure rock and roll, and at quite a savings. Serial # 8 9353. This Gibson Custom Historic '58 Les Paul is $2,399.

This is a simply fantastic Gibson Custom Shop Michael Bloomfield Les Paul VOS weighing in at a mere 8lbs 12oz., which is perfect. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest sounding Les Pauls we've ever heard - bold and powerfully resonant. You can instantly feel how strong it is in your left hand. Sustain is seriously close to endless. Plug it in and it is immediately addictive. A pure joy to play - and it plays perfectly. This is in Excellent condition. Frets are in great shape, the fingerboard is dark and straight-grained and the neck, which is very comfortable with that “played-in” feel, is as true as it can be.
This one also has a great peek-a-boo flame top that is constantly changing depending on the angle you're viewing. Has all the original case candy, the Gibson Bloomfield case which is in mint condition, along with the Certificate of Authenticity (serial #MB 179). All in all it would be very difficult to find a finer Les Paul than this Gibson Custom Shop Michael Bloomfield Les Paul VOS plus it's at a great price. USED

Absolutely beautiful vintage 1915 Gibson A-1 Mandolin in Excellent Plus condition. This is spectacular in tone, appearance and build. The seams are tight and in impeccable shape - this is all original save for a well done refret job and an adjustable bridge. The pickguard is gone, and there is a small ding and mark on the front (see photo) but all in all, this is in amazing condition and plays like a dream with the great Gibson slightly wider neck that this model is known for. This 1915 Gibson A-1 Mandolin comes with a non-original hard case. $1,450. Consignment item, sorry no free shipping. s/n: 25500 USED
This is a very nice example of the the desirable 1944 Gibson J-45 "Only A Gibson Is Good Enough" Banner guitars. The sound is Big with a capital B! Very fun to play and great action. Neck is on the large size, as is normal for J-45s of this period. The inked serial number only shows three digits - 585 - but from various characteristics we've conclude this is definitely a 1944. There are two tiny repaired holes behind the bridge where some sort of pickup may have been, or maybe a name plaque. There's crack between the pickguard and C bout, and a similar crack in the back -all issues have been beautifully repaired and do not detract from the appearance. The original finish is in excellent condition with medium finish checking. All around, this is a very nice example in Very Good Plus condition. Modern hardshell case included. $6,895. Consignment item, sorry no free shipping. USED
Absolutely gorgeous vintage Gibson ES-175 DN in Excellent condition. This blonde beauty dates from about 1970 (we previously believed based only on serial that it was late '60s). Serial number is 502546, with "Made in USA" stamped on the headstock of the 3 piece Mahogany neck (no volute). Particularly favored for jazz, this great model also has been a favorite of some country and rock players - a classic hollowbody with a really nice, warm sound. This one comes with a non-original hard case. $3399. Consignment item, sorry no free shipping. USED
This beautiful vintage 1922 Gibson L-4 needs some real TLC and as such is sold 'As-Is', but for the right person, this would make a fantastic collector's project guitar. Our shop has had a good long look at it and here's the facts Jack...this could really use a neck reset as the neck angle is bad and the action is high. It does however have a really great, huge vintage V neck on it. It's all original with the exception of the nut and the first fret, and the pickguard is missing. There are several unrepaired cracks on this including the back, the side, and the heel. The heel is cracked and the heel cap is loose. There's also loose body binding in several spots. Also the fretboard binding is cracked at the 12th fret. It has buckle rash and pickwear as you'd expect from something of this age. We've documented most of the issues in the photos, so there you have it. This 1922 Gibson L-4 does come with a hard case. $1,400. Consignment item, sorry no free shipping s/n: 70154 USED
