This ES5 Switchmaster has been well looked after in its 30 years of life. With a few marks and small dings, but in overall great condition, this big body, switch laden hollowbody is a wonderful playing guitar and it sounds ginormous!

It has a few marks and knocks but is all original. It comes with the Gibson Hardcase.
