Hi everyone  -  For our guitar of the week I have chosen a one-owner (complete with the original receipt dated September 1960) D'Angelico "Double Electric" - this guitar is rather like a Gibson L-5 but has a thinner 2 3/4 inch deep body rather like an L-5 CT – the George Gobel model.

This week, David's Pick of the Week is a 1956 Gibson ES-140D...

And this is why:

"Today's Guitar of the Week is more than a rarity – in fact it is the only one that I have ever seen or heard of…

It is a (deep bodied) 1956 Gibson ES-140 - but this is no ordinary ES-140 - this example has two P–90 pickups – and is 100% factory original.

We have fully documented and photographed this lovely little guitar and it will be featured in future books on Gibson guitars.
