tmoreland Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Can you help me ID this Gibson electric guitar? Model # 72981 in Gibson brand case. My father bought it used in the early '70s, and I don't know anything about it. I'd love to find out the year and model, and if it's a valuable guitar. I understand that this isn't an appraisal forum; I'm just curious if this guitar is special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunningham26 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 hi! sorry for the delay, this part of these forums can be a little quiet. You appear to have a modified ES-140T 3/4, a student-level guitar for smaller hand, produced in the late 50s. It would originally only have one pickup near the neck. They are a little bit collectible because of their small size- ive seen a few female singers play them and prefer them. It looks great but given the heavy modifications as-is probably not worth a ton. the range according to Reverb sits around $1500-2200, so i'd estimate this an 1000-1500 guitar on a good day. hope that helps!
