AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster is one of the most prestigious and collectible archtop electric guitars in the Gibson catalogue - a full-depth, multi-pickup archtop with a four-way Switchmaster selector that allows individual or combined pickup selection across three P-90-style pickups. Originally produced from 1955 to 1962, the ES-5 Switchmaster has been reissued periodically due to its enduring appeal among jazz guitarists, vintage enthusiasts, and collectors. This 2004 example reflects Gibson's commitment to honouring the original specification with premium materials and authentic appointments.
This 2004-built guitar is in wonderful condition with only minor playwear and a great medium action. An exceptional instrument for serious jazz players, vintage archtop collectors, and anyone seeking one of the most tonally versatile and visually distinguished electric guitars Gibson has ever produced.
