Gibson Zippo! SOLD! What the heck is this thing?!? Built for Zippo as a promotional guitar by the Gibson Custom Shop. How many did they make? Who knows, maybe it's just a one off. Gibson has a history of making crazy rare guitars for bigger companies. I've had a Lucky Strike CS336 and seen Hummer Les Pauls, A Yahoo Explorer and a few other odd balls. Extremely rare, these guitars were made for promotion and advertisement in extremely limited numbers and seldom find their way to guitar players. This is a quality Custom Shop instrument. The body is shaped like a flame and is presumably mahogany. The neck features an ebony fingerboard with "Use it to start something" inlay. A single P-90 delivers vintage tone.

1997 Gibson Blueshawk! SOLD! The Gibson Blueshawk has become quite popular with players in recent years. Discontinued by Gibson awhile ago, this guitar has taken on a life of its own thanks to its distinctive tone and innovative design. Semi hollow and capable of a wide range of sounds. From traditional Gibson to trademark Fender timbres, this guitar can do it. Made in the USA to the highest standards of quality. The semi hollow body is made of poplar with a maple cap. This combo allows it to achieve more high end than typical Gibson designs. The long 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with diamond inlays. The real fun is the pickups and electronics. Blueshawks feature the highly regarded Blues 90 soapbar. This pickup is similar to a traditional P-90 but has Alnico 5 polepieces that impart quick response and a complex top end. These pickups are integrated with a clever dummy coil system for noise canceling. The fun doesn't end there though as the pickups are hooked to Varitone circuit that allows you to filter out more low end frequencies. The result is a ton of tones in one guitar. This example has been upgraded with a push pull pot replacing the tone control. The push pull allows you to take the Varitone out of the circuit completely. A sustain enhancing string through the body bridge and trusty Kluson style tuners keep it rock solid. The finish is black lacquer and is set off with gold hardware. A very cool guitar that excels in many different music genres. SOLD!

1999 Gibson Nighthawk Special! SOLD! Gibson introduced the Nighthawk in 1993 and despite its innovative design, it was never a runaway success. Luckily, a growing cult has sprung up around this model. A really cool guitar that delivers some very non-Gibson sounds. The design and specs are quite different than your typical Gibson. The vaguely Les Paul shaped body is made of poplar and features a maple top. The 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. The pickups are where the magic is on this model. The bridge position houses a special slanted humbucker which teams up with an NSX single coil and mini humbucker. A 5 way switch, coil tap and push pull generate a variety of tones. the push pull doesn't seem to be working on this example and I think is stuck in the humbucker position. A little contact cleaner may make it work again. A sustain enhancing string through bridge and Kluson style tuners keep it rock solid. All hardware is gold plated and the top is bound for a cool look. The finish is Gibson's classic cherry red lacquer. A really hip instrument that excels at a variety of musical styles. SOLD!

1996 Gibson Blueshawk! SOLD! The Gibson Blueshawk has become quite popular with players in recent years. Discontinued by Gibson awhile ago, this guitar has taken on a life of its own thanks to its distinctive tone and innovative design. Semi hollow and capable of a wide range of sounds. From traditional Gibson to trademark Fender timbres, this guitar can do it. Made in the USA to the highest standards of quality. The semi hollow body is made of poplar with a maple cap. This combo allows it to achieve more high end than typical Gibson designs. The long 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with diamond inlays. The real fun is the pickups and electronics. Blueshawks feature the highly regarded Blues 90 soapbar. This pickup is similar to a traditional P-90 but has Alnico 5 polepieces that impart quick response and a complex top end. These pickups are integrated with a clever dummy coil system for noise canceling. The fun doesn't end there though as the pickups are hooked to Varitone circuit that allows you to filter out more low end frequencies.

A wraparound bridge and Kluson style tuners keep it all rock solid. This example is finished in classic black lacquer.

1983 Gibson Invader! SOLD! Looking for a real USA made Gibson at a good price? Check out the Invader! A 28 year old Gibson at a great price!

1984 Gibson Challenger II! SOLD! A real 24 year old USA made Gibson at a low price? Who would have thought such a thing was possible? Gibson's Challenger model is a rarely seen guitar that's a good value on the vintage market. Similar to the Marauder, the Challenger was a unique model of the 80s. The body is Les Paul shaped and reminds me of an 80s take on a Les Paul Special. The bolt on maple neck features a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. Dual humbucking pickups (probably designed by Bill Lawrence) dish out classic tone. A Schaller wraparound bridge/tailpiece offers good sustain. The tuners on this example have been upgraded to a modern set of sealed units. The finish on this one has aged to a nice cream/yellow. It reminds me of TV Yellow and has a great vibe. You would be hard pressed to find a USA made Gibson of any vintage that is such a good value. Unique with good tone, the Gibson Challenger is a great deal. SOLD!

1993 Gibson M-III Standard! SOLD! Here’s a very cool and quite overlooked Gibson! The M-III was Gibson offering for a modern rock guitar. Top notch Gibson quality but all of the shred approved features that were so popular in the 90s. The body shape is unique and comfortable and the appointments are 100% Gibson. The body is poplar for good weight and clear tone. The set maple neck features a 25.5 inch scale maple fingerboard with 24 frets and cool arrow head fingerboard markers. The neck shape feels like a slimmer and flatter version of the classic 1960 shape. More in line with an Ibanez than a Gibson. The H/S/H pickup configuration includes a hot 500T at the bridge, a smooth NSX single coil in the middle and a 496 at the neck. They are hooked to a unique 5 position switching system and 2 way toggle for tons of unique tones. The switching system was a bit odd to me at 1st until I understood Gibson’s motives. It’s wired to give you all of the settings in the same order as your favorite Gibson guitars. A little counter intuitive if you’re used to Ibanez or Jackson style Super Strats but easy to get used to. A Gibson branded Floyd Rose double locking trem and Gibson branded Schaller tuners keep everything solid. This example is finished in candy apple red lacquer and features a cool fire stripe tortoise pickguard and truss rod cover. A really great looking and performing guitar. I remember really being knocked out by these when they came out. They were one of the few times Gibson has done something out of the box and made a good looking guitar in my humble opinion. Be different! Play something cool! SOLD!

1941 Gibson ES-300 Archtop! SOLD! This is easily one of the rarest and most gorgeous guitars I’ve offered in recent memory. The ES-300 was Gibson’s replacement for the influential ES-250, a top of the line electric archtop. As electric guitars started to show signs of being more than a fad Gibson decided to standardize features and electronics into one model. Many of the innovations of the ES-300 are still around today including the famous crown headstock inlay, raised diamond tailpiece and parallelogram fingerboard markers. An incredible looking guitar. The original 1940 ES-300’s had an interesting (and HUGE) oblong pickup. They made a handful of those and then switched to the smaller pickup as seen on this example. How many did they make like this? Not many, especially in blonde. Probably rarer than the oblong pickup versions. They only made these in 1941 until the US entered WWII. An incredible find! SOLD!

1991 Gibson ES-295 Reissue with Bigsby! SOLD!! One of the grand daddies of the electric guitar! The ES-295 was introduced at the same time as the Les Paul goldtop and in many ways could be considered a hollowbody version of Les' solid body broomstick. The 1952 Les Paul had a similar tailpiece as well as the trademark gold finish and cream plastic. In fact, early ES-295's had "Les Paul" engraved on the tailpieces as Les himself invented the contraption. The 295 became associated with rockabilly thanks to Scotty Moore playing guitar for some guy from Tupelo. The rest is history as they say. You can hear Scotty's 295 all over the early Sun sides. Other famous 295 slingers include Geordie Walker from Killing Joke and NYC's rockabilly reconstructionists Heavy Trash. The ES-295 could be called a fancy ES-175.
