Man that es-295 is the stuff dreams are made of

[hkguitar]

My very first instrument was a 1967 Epiphone Rivoli Bass, it was my Cousin's Bass, he loaned it to me while I learned to play, that was back in 1974.
By 1975 my Parents couldn't handle the Bass thumping through the house, my Father convinced me to switch to guitar, Thank You Dad!

Gibson should pay Trogley he is they're best advertising 😂

Buy the 85k Les Paul for a review! Do it now Austin!!!

[HarryK-HK]

Thank goodness for all the copies out there so us regular folk can acquire and play.

[joermnyc]

I would say the premium on these is: a) it’s something Gibson was holding onto. And b) any repairs or parts replacements mean it’s “factory restored” and easy to certify.

The ES-347 has coil-taps on the pickups, not splits. Still double coil, just lower output. I had a '79, beautiful axe. My precious. Some gollum crept up and slipped away with her back in '89. Cried myself to sleep for a month.

This comment is Certified Vintage. You owe me $2000 for reading it.

That '55 Custom just made my heart rate double.

[badnamerecords]

The notched Howard Robert's fretboard inlays first appeared on the Epiphone Howard Roberts model in 1964. I believe it was a specification by Mr. Roberts.

[jimmyjames]

Nice set of lost and found "Certified Vintage" for Dec 2024. Leo's, the 347, and 1955 Custom all are just fine and dandy.

[ethanhitchcock]

I liked the 1960 ES-335 and the 1967 Rivoli bass ..cool stuff ! Thanks trog !

[RFL_guitars]

You would think Kalamazoo could have put a left hand TRC on the 347.

“When you could find them in $2, 500”

Proceeds to show off a deadbeat example😂

[silvernuggets]

The 347 is nice.
Center seam is not "uncommon" on the 60s era 335s

[chrisghiardi]

Prepre whatever -that is LP guitars with various late 50s style features made for big dealers go back at least to the late 1970s.

[donmadrazos-dd]

It's astonishing how many overlook the ES 347. Perhaps it's because some aged famous rock/jazz guy didn't play it. It's an incredible guitar.

[Bog_]

Lost out on a early 65’ SG special. Wasn’t comfortable with the low logo!

[roberthoffecker]

The new Hetfield Explorer is on its way?

[svart_kors]

The Rivoli by far was my fave. I am...a bassist.
