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.
