1957 Gibson ES-140T

FON U938-31. The ES-140 was Gibson's first 3/4 sized electric upon its introduction in 1950. For the first six years of production the modelfeatured a full-depth body, but by 1956, its depth was thinned to 1-3/4", and the model renamed the ES-140T. With its 22-3/4" scale length, 1-9/16"nut width, and small 12-3/4" wide cut-away body, the 140T was designed to bea kid's guitar; but today the model has found favor with those players looking for the tone that the combination of P-90 and short scale offers.This one is in excellent condition, very well set up, and completely original. There is really no playwear on it, and the finish looks fantastic.Its P-90 reads 7.6kOhms, and sounds big. Play it yourself, or take it home for your son or daughter - they'll surely be the coolest kid on the block!
