HI
So i used to play in a country band with the guy and he recently passed away. His widow has a bunch of stuff for sale and this is one of his guitars ive played it and its really cool. Used to be owned by Al Casey from the wrecking crew. I took pics but i couldn't get a clear pic of the orange gibson sticker inside. anyone know what this might be worth or event he model number? thanks

ES-150DC
Made in the 70s
Very cool model from the Norlin era.

I think they sell for around $3K

Cool, thanks for the info. All the ones i just looked up the wire tailpiece. this one has the L5. wonder if it was switched out or something.

I'd assume a switch out or maybe a custom order.
Are you buying it?
would be cool to know what else he had as that is a very cool piece!

Hi yup im gonna work on getting it. Ya ill have to take a look what else he had in that closet. He wasn't a jazzer more bluegrass and country player so he has a couple high end banjos, Gibson acoustics. Teles...a bunch of other stuff.

Having had one, I concur about being an ES-150, though mine had a trapeze/wire tail piece as every other one I've seen. Mine was natural and the most beautiful guitar I've ever owned. I got rid of it because it had a seemingly paradoxical set of issues, while it had a beautiful tone on initial attack, the sustain was so short notes would die out in an unnatural sort of way, but at the same time, it was a feed-back machine. While it looked like a fat 335, it was hollow with no center block. As a fan of using 2 pickups to sculpt tone, I did like the master volume.
