P_Goodwin Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I am trying to find out everything about this guitar in the picture. What year it was made, Price, the stock number any information would be greatly helpful It has been displaced or taken from the family for one reason or another. The last time it was seen was in the middle 70's Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Mac Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Looks like an ES-5 Switchmaster to me. Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Looks to be (by the features on display there) a 1956 or early 1957 model of the ES-5 Switchmaster. Later in 1957 the P90's were no longer offered on that model, and were replaced by humbucking pickups. I'm not sure if the Bigsby is stock, or added on. Probably added on. Worth, by Fjestad's Blue Book, around $8,000 , but I have seen them on Reverb with an asking price of $22,000. I hope you find that gem of a guitar, but to be fair, it's been gone for decades. :( Edited November 25, 2019 by sparquelito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
