thinking of buying a 1990 Es-775 , The original. owner received the guitar free of charge from Gibson in1990 (business deal) He put it put it his collection and never played it 33 years later. The pick guard caused the gold pickup covers to have some corrosion on the end by the pick guard. serial # 92150393. tobacco sunburst. Thinking $250-300 to clean, new strings & set up. corrosion similar to pic below. ( no engraving on the one I’m looking at) Fair price to offer $3500. - $4000? Could not find a 1990 for sale.other years $4200-6000.

Thanks. Did come from the Gibson Custom shop. Maybe worth the expensive being guitar is a ES-775 prototype. serial # 83199549. Long back story, but guitar has been sitting in it’s case for 34 years never played. So like to get it back to new as possible. .

Looking for replacement gold Gibson ES-775 pickup covers. Catch is. with engraving, along the perimeter. and scrolls inside. I have originals, but half of them badly tarnished.

Maybe normal on those guitars to have engraving on the pickup cover? If not would be cool to be able to keep. Tried to add a photo, but too large.

thanks very helpful. I was wondering no water marks on the case or any where else. The gentleman I purchased the guitar from also has a 1990 production ES-775 also stored for 32 years. It has the same problem with the gold pickups. The Gibson ES-775 was in production from 1990-1993. Up scale version of the ES-175 or so they say.

I recently purchased a ES-775 and I am new to the forum. The gold pickup covers have green corrosion. wondering is there anyone that cleans and resurfaced these covers? This has been sitting in the case unopened for 32 years. Some where along the way a bit of water must have gotten. in the case. The original owner said he opened the case closed and put in in with his 150 guitar collection for 32 years. He said it has never been played. So I would like to save the original covers. The other reason which may or may make difference in the value. It’s custom shop serial number 89199549 so I think it was an early one?.
