Gibson Custom Historic Super V CES 1986 - 1993 - Sunburst

1991 Gibson Super V CES – Jim Triggs Master Model

For sale is my 1991 Gibson Super V CES.

This is a Gibson Custom Shop Master Model, with the interior label signed by renowned Gibson luthier Jim Triggs.

I’ve listed the condition as fair. This has been my main gigging instrument for the last five years and remains a superb playing guitar. There are no cracks, repairs or structural issues, only cosmetic wear consistent with regular use.

The top remains in very good condition. Most of the wear is on the back of the instrument, where there are various marks from use. The headstock lacquer checking was present when I purchased the guitar from Vintage & Rare. There is also a section of binding missing from the underside edge of the fingerboard, which is shown clearly in the photographs.

The guitar plays exceptionally well and is currently set up with a low action and a set of Thomastik-Infeld Bebop 12s. It delivers the classic large-bodied Gibson archtop tone that these instruments are known for—warm, rich and powerful, with excellent acoustic resonance.

A custom ebony bridge was professionally made for the guitar, and the original Gibson bridge is included in the sale.

£5,950 – sensible offers invited.

Collection only from the Gloucester/Cheltenham area.
