1957-1958 Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster Blond Natural U22357

This Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster was made in the USA in early 1958. It has a '57 FON but an early '58 serial number. It shows play wear but given its age it is in nice shape overall. There are a couple of repaired cracks on the side by the jack. Aside from that there are no structural issues. It has 3 original double-black PAFs that sound fantastic. The Bigsby is also original, which is pretty rare on this model. The only changed part is the switch tip. The blond finish is original, except there is an area on the back of the body with heavy buckle wear that has been touched up with overspray. This guitar has been pro-setup in our store and is in fantastic playing condition. It comes with the original case.
