NGD: what is that God awful stench?

Post by robthemac »

Bit of a team effort, this one. Thanks to Ants for sending the listing my way, Ben for kicking the tyres on my behalf and Grant for his quiet fatherly reassurance.

1953 Gibson ES-150. Played to death but good bones and looks to be largely original. More photos and details to come.

(Don't worry, it went back in the shade immediately after the photo. This old girl doesn't need any artificial aging)

Moderate to chunky with a slight V. Slimmer than I expected.
