starfoxhound Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi! I'm about to buy a Gibson Es-150 Charlie Christian. I alreday saw it, and I will take some pics today, so wait for pics. It has a regular condition (I'd say good to be a 1935). Seller claims it's one of the 200 ES-150 Charlie Christian that were produced on the first run. ES-150 was officialy released on 1936, if I'm not wrong. The guitar's missing the original tuners (has some other ES-150's tuners that didn't fit well) and pickguard. Has some dings and one of the back's support wood is unglued, making the back to "sink" inside. A well skilled repair tech might do it fine. Serial number is: DG-2045, original hand-winded blade Charlie Christian pickup, seem to be original pots, wiring, and bridge. I'll try to get pics for you as soon as I can. Please help me, is there really a 1935 production? Are they rare? How much do you think it's worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Is it rare? No, it was a standard production model. It's value is determined by the "market". Due to the fact that it not "original" (tuners), and needs structural repair, this guitar is worth about 50% of the "market rate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
