The Gibson ES-295 is an iconic electric guitar that embodies the style, innovation, and sound of the golden age of rock ’n’ roll. Introduced in 1952 as a more luxurious version of the ES-175, this model stood out for its all-gold finish and its association with legendary musicians such as Scotty Moore, best known as the guitarist for Elvis Presley.
The ES-295 is a hollow-body archtop guitar built with premium materials:
• Laminated maple body with carved top, back, and sides
• One-piece mahogany neck finished in matching gold (All Gold finish)
• Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with parallelogram inlays
• Two original P-90 pickups
• Trapeze bridge/tailpiece combination designed by Les Paul
• Original gold-plated hardware throughout
The result is a remarkably resonant instrument with exceptional clarity, warmth, and dynamic response, equally suited to rockabilly, jazz, blues, and early rock ’n’ roll.
