Gibson ES295 All Gold 1993

Beautiful Gibsons always make our hearts beat a little faster, and this Gibson ES-295 is certainly no ordinary guitar!

Ever since Scotty Moore, Elvis Presley's guitarist, first picked up this model, it has become synonymous with the rockabilly sound that would go on to take the music world by storm. But as jazz and blues virtuoso Danny Gatton later demonstrated, the possibilities of this guitar extend far beyond a single genre. This elegant all-gold version of the ES-175 is almost too special to be as rare as it is. With its entirely gold finish, luxurious binding and distinctive floral motif on the cream plexiglass pickguard, it radiates timeless elegance that immediately catches the eye.

This ES-295 from 1993 dates from the reissue period that Gibson began in 1990. Its combination of a gold-finished laminated maple body, a comfortable mahogany neck, a 10-inch rosewood fingerboard and two powerful P-90 pickups offers a versatile tonal palette. The Bigsby adds another dimension to your playing, making it easy to move between crisp country licks and fluid jazz chords. Split parallelogram inlays on the fingerboard and cream binding provide beautiful finishing touches to a guitar that exudes luxury in every detail.

The guitar is in excellent condition and still displays the rich gold finish that is so characteristic of this model. The lacquer has developed some light checking in places, particularly along the side of the body and around the neck joint. The pickups and bridge have been replaced. This rare beauty is a collector's item that is also an incredibly inspiring instrument for any serious guitarist!

This guitar has been carefully inspected for condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
