aqishimie Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I bought a Gibson guitar from someone with a relatively high price. But I do not have any information regarding this guitar. It's is a real Gibson? What the actual specifications of this guitar. Please need some detail about this guitar. I really need help from here. Here I've included a few photos of your reference.

jdgm Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Oh it's genuine alright. Very nice too. If I read the number right it's from 2000 and was the 918th guitar (of any sort) produced by the Gibson Custom Shop that year. The 's' usually stands for 'solid'; what you have is essentially a partially hollowed-out solidbody guitar. Spruce top, mahogany body. Precursor to the 'Midtown' models. Manufacturer's 2001 Description: When you pick up the new hollow-bodied ES-446S, the first thing you’ll notice is how incredibly light the instrument is. With an average weight of just under 71/2 pounds, the ES-446S can get you through long sets with little or no fatigue. The other thing you’ll notice is how great it sounds. The contoured spruce top features f-holes and braces that are carved into the top — not glued. This makes for an instrument with marvelous tone and remarkable resonance. Finally, the ES-446S is topped off with a graceful Florentine cutaway and traditional-style head stock giving it a strikingly classic look. Construction:One-piece mahogany carved-out body with carved spruce top (body braces are carved into top) Binding: White binding on top Hardware:Nickel with Schaller tuners Bridge /Tailpiece: Tune-o-matic bridge with bail tailpiece Pickups: Two ‘57Classic humbuckers Controls:Two volume / two tone / 3-way selector switch Fingerboard:Rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays I searched for Gibson ES-446s using Google and found several pages and great pictures. Cut and pasted the manufacturer's 2001 specs from a seller's description. I have no idea what a 'bail' tailpiece is - it's a trapeze isn't it? I like the shape which is similar to the L4-s and L-6s guitars. Probably a fairly limited run, thus the high price. Worth it I hope...I'd like one! How does it play? It should scream.... Congrats on a good find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
