Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-355 Reissue Stop Bar Ultra Light Aged - Ebony

Here’s a stunning 1968 Gibson ES-150DCN in the timeless Natural finish—a beautifully aged and naturally seasoned vintage semi-hollow with serious mojo. The original PAF pickups, jack, and switch are intact, preserving that classic Gibson tone we all chase.

A professional Bigsby installation adds a smooth, expressive touch, and the guitar has been thoughtfully rewired by a previous owner for enhanced performance without sacrificing its vintage soul. Frets have been crowned and polished, making this beauty play like a dream.

The nitrocellulose lacquer checking throughout is pure vintage eye candy—no breaks, no cracks—just honest wear and gracefully aged wood. This ES-150 is not just a looker, it's an incredible player with tone and feel that only nearly 60 years of natural aging can produce.

A true vintage Gibson classic—ready to inspire, on stage or in the studio.
