With its cutaway and body dimensions borrowed from the acoustic L5C, the ES5 was in many ways an electric version of that legendary archtop. The groundbreaking feature of this model, however, was its three pickups, something that had never been done before. The problem was that the original controls were quite awkward; with a volume control for each pickup, a master tone control, and no switch, all those pickups were practically impossible to use while playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eGibson didn't solve this problem until 1955 with the ES5 Switchmaster, which featured separate volume and tone controls for each pickup, plus an elegant four-way switch. This guitar is just such a conversion; originally built as one of the first ES5s from 1949, it was later converted to the much more practical Switchmaster specifications.

The details are also stunning, from the maple binding to the beautiful inlay on the headstock. You don't have to worry about being heard with this guitar, as the Lollar Charlie Christian in the neck position ensures a beautiful amplified sound!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar was built in 2005 and is in excellent condition. There are light traces of playwear and some very small dings on the body and top, and the pickguard also shows light signs of wear. On the back of the headstock, there are some small dings and a lacquer chip, and the gold-colored hardware shows some patina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier.

With a solid carved spruce top over flamed maple back and sides, generous ebony appointments and a warm sunburst finish, it delivers the woody, acoustic jazz voice that made the classic American archtops famous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AR910 sits right at the top of Eastman’s archtop range, built as a tribute to the golden-era jazz boxes of the 1930s and 40s. Like those originals it is carved by hand from solid tonewoods rather than pressed or laminated, and that is exactly what gives a true acoustic archtop its projection and its complex, singing overtones. Eastman built its name on bringing this kind of old-world lutherie within reach, and the AR910 is where that philosophy is taken furthest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular example has been played and loved, and it carries that history honestly. There are dings and scratches on both the top and the back, some marks on the back and top of the headstock, and four small holes on the side of the neck left by a pickup that was once fitted. None of it takes away from the instrument, which has clearly been well cared for and remains in very good, fully playable condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 5-piece flamed maple and rosewood neck has a comfortable C profile that, together with the 25\" scale, the 12\" radius ebony fingerboard and a 44.2 mm nut, gives the broad, easy feel you want from a jazz archtop. Acoustically it does what a fine carved top should: a dry, focused midrange with excellent note separation and plenty of projection, even unplugged. An ebony bridge and tailpiece and gold Schaller tuners with ebony buttons round out a beautifully appointed guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier.
