mcurrie Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This is probably an easy one. I remember seeing pictures of them before, but for the life of me, can't recall what model it was. I don't have any pictures of the guitar in question, but here's a description of it: Les Paul body style (appeared to be the same size and shape anyway). Hollow or semi-hollowbody Single P90 (aluminum/chrome cover) in the neck One volume and one tone control Stop tailpiece (I'm leaning towards semi-hollowbody because of that) I went to a show last night and the girl that opened up (Kate Maki from Toronto) was playing one. I didn't get a chance to talk to her afterwards about the guitar, so I never found out. It's been bugging me ever since. That's all I can remember right now, because she had to stand most of the night with her guitar sideways to the crowd, because of a lot of hum happening everytime she turned it towards the front. Thanks for any info someone can provide. Mark Currie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynadude Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 There was a discussion about this same model here a few months ago. You might find it with the search. I think it is an ES-140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayville Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 http://www.flickr.com/photos/confusionunlimited/3008868012/in/set-72157605747658683/ If it's the one in the link, I think it's an ES-140T -- the smaller, short-scale version. According to "Gibson Electrics: The Classic Years", they were made from 1956-65, mostly with black P-90s but with the chrome pickup cover between '63-65 (Gibson only made about 75 of them in each of those years). Cool looking little guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcurrie Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I wasn't entirely sure what to search for at first. Thanks for the info. That would be the girl in question and the guitar she was playing and her little tweed amp in behind her. The only other pictures I could find of her and the guitar were just of the headstock. Not sure why that one showed up in my searches. Anyway, thanks again for the info. And yeah, it is a very cool little guitar. Mark Currie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qblue Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 It's probably a hollow body, especially if she had to turn sideways to avoid hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
