This is a great sounding Gibson GA-5 amplifier from 1957. The amp works properly. It was serviced last fall by Wilburwerkes Audio in Kansas City. The original clear vinyl slipcover is included. The cover has shrunk over time and fits extremely tight on the amp. I've left the amp in its original patinaed state, but I'm sure that it could clean up nicely with minimal effort. If you have any questions, please ask and I will answer them as quickly as I can

Here we have a really sweet 57 Gibson L48 archtop guitar. It is a one owner guitar that was brought in by the son of the original owner who has passed away. The guitar is in very good playing condition showing normal signs of wear for a guitar of this vintage. The label is missing so we don??t have a serial number to date it but he remembers when the guitar was purchased so we are going by that. The frets are great with just a little wear on the first fret but it plays clean with no buzz. The ... more

The 1957 Gibson ES-125TD is a standout example of Gibson's approach to creating affordable yet professional-quality instruments in the 1950s.

Gibson J-45 1957 with hard case and setup ready to play!I believe this is the original case and bought this from the original owner. The case could use just some outside cleaning, but the inside is in awesome condition. It is currently setup with low action and plays so easy up and down the straight neck. No issues there. There is a small hole in the lower bout from an old guitar jack that was professional filled with a hard plasctic plug which is not going anywhere. I do show that in the ... more

Here we have a very fine and extremely rare 1957 Gibson ES-125-D archtop. The guitar is out of a collector's smoke free temperature controlled luthiers estate who is retiring.

To be sure, there are a few extra very small screw holes under the current tailpiece
The frets and fretboard have been cleaned and show only the very ... more

Refinished in TV yellow. Nice fat neck with chunky profile. It shows no signs of cracks, breaks, or crack repairs

Plays and sounds killer


It??s had a refinish so that obviously puts it in the player grade range. The refinish is decent and you can still see some woodgrain through the semi transparent finish.


The serial was lost in the refinish, but it shows all the proper marks and signs of being a 1957. The fact the original wiring harness ... more
