Beautiful vintage patina, exquisite sunburst. 1946 GIBSON Es-150 . Championed by Charlie Christian of the Benny Goodman Sextet, the ES-150 played a major role in making the guitar a "lead" instrument. Firstly, the P90 pickup was replaced with a 1939 Gibson Charlie Christian-style unit, "it has a very high quality of cobalt and copper which is unavailable in the world today". Give us a call. The model used for the ES-125 has a string spacing on the neck pickup of 1 15 ⁄ 16 " from high E to low E. The ES-125 also used a tapered dogear cover for their neck position pickups with a thickness of 4/16" on the treble side and 5/16" on the bass side. Both are laminated, P90 equipped, 17 inches wide, no cutaway and rosewood fingerboard. Now, having put in a big plug for the post-War laminated Gibsons, let me say that the pre-War, solid-topped Gibson electrics (the ES-150 and 250, in particular) are indescribably great guitars. The ES-175’s combination of single cutaway and P90 pickup was one Gibson would repeat in the LP Junior and elsewhere, but the simplicity of the original design, with just a volume and tone knob, twin f-holes and Gibson’s trademark back-angled headstock was attractive in itself. The ES-300 was the top of the line for electrics immediately post war whereas the ES-150 (post war, not CC unit) was a more economical model (no binding on the neck until 1950 then binding until 1956)). Both the neck and bridge pickups are drop-in replacements for any traditional Gibson-sized P90 soapbar. I had a semi-hollow ES-135 back in the mid-90s and so familiar with what P90s are about. My understanding is that the ES-150 and ES-250 models were basically L-50s with pickups installed but maybe I'm wrong (a victim of internet hearsay) and they were constructed a little differently. Rickenbacker pickups first appeared in lap steel electrics in the early '30s and then in the mid '30s, the Gibson ES-150, the first mass marketed electric guitar, was loaded with a unique electromagnetic bar pickup with hexagonal edges that was eventually dubbed the Charlie Christian pickup. This stunning 74 year old “Script Logo” Gibson Es-150 is in good condition. The large, heavy pickup (weighing nearly two pounds) was primitive, but is to this day heralded for its smooth, jazzy tone. The double coil design we all known as the ‘humbucker’, was introduced in 1957.
