Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster 1958 – Sunburst Refinish

I purchased this beautiful guitar from the second owner in Oklahoma. Apparently, he bought it from Bobby Davis, Ray Price’s guitar player. The guitar was refinished ( he was told by Gibson) at some point. Additionally, the neck and middle pickup have been replaced with early Pat. No. Gibson pickups. The bridge pickup is still the original PAF. All three pickups sound absolutely fantastic. The tuners are not original. The guitar was refretted probably when it went in for the refinish as the frets are classic 60s Gibson. The bridge is also not original. The tailpiece is original as are all of the knobs except one. The case is original and it works, but has seen better days. The guitar plays and sounds wonderful and is a great chance to get a golden era archtop Gibson at a great price.
