Antique Gibson Electric Guitars

What type of vintage or antique Gibson guitar should you buy? It all depends on your budget. Some vintage guitars can cost over $10,000 easily. Last time I saw the Gibson Super 400 CES Vintage Sunburst being sold online for over $11,000. The guitars mentioned above cost between $1500 and $2500 dollars each. Just ensure that you shop around so as to get the best price.

The Gibson Firebird V Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst sells for a little over $1600. This is a reverse-styled electric guitar. It comes with 9-ply mahogany/walnut with mahogany wings, bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlay, 2 volume and 2 tone controls, a 3-way switch, high-output mini humbuckers at the bridge and neck, and chrome hardware.

Then there's the Gibson Les Paul Classic Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst that features a carved maple top on a mahogany back, joined to a mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard. This Gibson electric is powered by a 496R ceramic humbucker in the front and a 500T at the bridge. It includes green tuning keys, plain cream pickguard, amber top-hat knobs, true 60s slim-tapered neck, and trapezoid fretboard inlays. Try what ever finish you like. You can choose between gold hardware on ebony or nickel hardware.

Or how about the Gibson Custom CS336 Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst? This is the Custom Shop's first tonally carved guitar. The guitar sells for a little over $2600. The back, rims, and centerblock are tonally carved from a single block of mahogany, joined to a maple top. If you're looking for a guitar with unsurpassed resonance an amazing woody tone, this is it. And since it has a scaled down body size and slim taper neck you can play it more comfortably without any compromise in tone.

When it comes to vintage or antique Gibson electric guitars, there is a lot available. Many of these guitars can be found at regular online musical instrument stores. Or otherwise, check out an auction site like ebay.
