Pleased to have got this one - it's a 1953 ES-295, in very nice condition, with original case - particularly noticeable is the absence of 'greening', which is pretty common in the gold ES-295's. It's had a repair on the topside where it was cracked - it was a pretty expensive repair by Gruhns, I believe, who also refretted it. It plays very nicely and sounds great. Tuner tips aren't original, but everything else is. Well, it plays as well as it can when I've got my trotters on it. I wanted to be Scotty Moore. So far I've managed Patrick Moore.
The second one is and ES-300, my 'new old vintage guitar' - I had it previously, sold it, and missed it. It's in fabulous condition - virtually mint - and dates from early 1948 (or possibly late 1947). Single P90, of course, and it's hot. Again, it has it's original case with it, and is all original itself. It's the (model of) guitar that Danny Cedrone played the solo on 'Rock Around The Clock' on. So far, I've managed 'Three Blind Mice'. Still, not to worry.
Call me Dave.

I had a 90's reissue for a while.
