Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good (small, stable crack in the tailpiece, pictured)
We've always had a deep appreciation for the old ES-100-series Gibsons. The early ES-series has a certain mournful tonal quality that you can't help but love. String it up with flatwounds and a nice, clean amp and you have a masterful, soulful jazz guitar. String it with roundwounds and a cranked low-wattage amp and you have a blistering blues machine.
