Vintage 1952 Gibson ES 5 with the original case. Guitar is in amazing condition for its age having slight flame on the body with the gold hardware, three p 90s making this a truly beautiful guitar. Gold hardware does have tarnish on certain pieces as noted in the pictures. Guitar also has your typical weather checking from a guitar so old, buckle rash on the back that has went through the finish ever so slightly as I tried to get a picture of. On a digital luggage scale guitar shows 7.41 lbs. Binding has a nice yellow color to it but is fully intact around the body of the guitar. See play wear in the neck which tells you this guitar was well loved but has been played still. This guitar has been apart of a private collection for almost the last 30 years finally being available for sale. Original brown case along with the instruction paperwork is included In the sale. Feel free to ask any questions you have.
