Gibson ES-300 late 40's

**guildmann** · 02-12-2023, 12:15 PM

1940's Gibson Archtop ES-300 in very good condition. Newer Frets and binding on Neck. Replacement grover tuners that work great. I think the tailpiece, pots and bridge are replacements. 17"lower bout. 25.5" scale. 1 11/16 nut width
Finish checking on top and back but looks nice. Some marks on the front. padded gig bag for shipping. This guitar is an excellent player. making room for another guitar. $3450 plus shipping and PayPal

Guys, I know Guildmann personally. You won’t find a nicer more honest guy.
I know this guitar and I am shocked he selling it. And I think the price is extremely reasonable.
This would be a no risk purchase.
Thanks, Joe D

What you are "making room for" must be pretty special to part with that precious '40s Gibson. It reminds me of my '42 Gretsch New Yorker

Hi Archie... I purchased a Heritage Golden Eagle... Rob Gibson ES-300 late 40's-img_1338-1-jpg

love your Gretsch!

Your Golden Eagle is nice. Should be easy to get used to Venetian cut-away to reach all way up fretboard. And humbucker pickup has advantages when amplified. The ol' Gibson is still quite special. Whoever buys it will, without a doubt, agree.

Rob, you did really good!!! I’ve owned many of those. It resembles the guitar JoeD had for a bit. Anyway, congratulations and enjoy that GE!!!

It is the Golden Eagle that JoeD had. i bought it from him. What a great guy! I love the guitar... I haven't had much interest in the ES-300. I'm surprised...RobN
