  1. Hi Jabberwocky,

    Would you be interested in selling your ES-150 reissue? Perhaps there is another guitar you have had in mind and need to make room?

    Thank you for your time,

    BoyBlue

  2. hi ,, im from the uk , had this les paul for years stored away in its case ,, serial number 9 0949 ,, where s it from and what age is it please ?? many thanks !!

  3. Old thread but good thread. Wow, Danny. You sure know how to pick them. Gibson sent me a scan of the print ad for the L5 Wes Montgomery Heart Inlay. I believe the L5 Wes Montgomery Heart Inlay archtops were made in 1998 and shown at NAMM to celebrate the restoration of Wes' original L5 damaged in a fire, and then again in 2002. I don't know how many were made in total. I found a picture of the L5 Wes Heart Inlay online.
  4. Time will age the white Natural of the Gibson L5CESN. Place it in open shade and the UV from the sun will age it soon enough.
  5. Right on, brother, right on. I love Super 400s of any era. I wish I could find one for $2000, OK, $3500 in today's dollars, as you did! Somebody up there likes you, Hannu.
  6. I was indeed editing the link and posted after JimR56 posted. So, instead of cluttering up the forum, I posted it where I had left a holding place in the thread. Functionality trumps all. If it sounds great and plays well, Hannu, I won't put too much stock in it. Did you check the string spacing at the nut? Perhaps the previous owner had the nut cut for a narrow string spacing 25 years ago and hence the bass E string does not line up with the pole piece now. Since your Super 400CES is from the 70s, it wouldn't originally be fitted with the narrow spaced neck humbucker because those would have gone out by the Norlin era. As long as you did not pay a vintage 1964 price for the Super 400CES in the belief that it was a 1964, I think you did well. $2000 in 1988 dollars translates into $3441.22 2012 dollars. That is a great price for a Super 400CES of any era. There is some question about the originality of its finish. How about that? You got yourself a player so play it and enjoy it. And if you do intend to sell it down the road, worry about it then. Your guitar looks great. Norlin era never did bother me where archtops are concerned. I think the Gibson archtop department always made great archtops or maybe my standard of acceptance is lower than others. They weren't the money-spinners in the Norlin era so the archies were left alone, pretty much. Your axe looks great.

  8. Thanks for sharing, Hannu. That's so beautiful I could almost cry. Enjoy her in good health. I think you did well. (How about showing the back of the beauty?)
  9. Cris Mirabella of Mirabella Guitars has reproduced it for sale at $295 a pop: Contact him.
