A super early revamp of the ES-150, this updated model had originally served as the 'Charlie Christian' guitar, before switching to this post-war larger body, all-laminate design. It can be compared to a paired down electric version of the L-7, no frills 17" model intended to by played plugged in. This one is really special, with the original early P-90 having that woody tone that only the vintage ones seem to have. It plays smoothly up and down the neck, large but playable. Perfect for jazz, it could also handle blues, as our staff was sure to point out.

This guitar is in excellent shape, with an added strap button to the heel, replaced tuners and the original pickguard is included but was off-gassing so we removed it from the body. This model features a 17" body, early script logo, no FON or serial number. Comes with the original case. Please refer to the provided photos for more detail on the condition of this instrument. As with all of our vintage listings, included is a vintage spec sheet which details any repairs & changes of note.
