Gibson ES-150D: Toby Summerfield Buys His Dream Guitar

[Geoffbachman0301]

The main difference with mine is there was minor headstock repair and the previous owner put in custom lark inlays which adds some nice personality to it. I will post my own review when I get some more time. If any one has more info on these please contact me. There is not a whole lot of info out there on these amazing instruments. Thank you all and if you dont already own one of these I wish you all the luck I had on the price.

Thank you for your review! I found an identical es-150d at a pawn shop for only $350 including a gibson hardshell case! Ive always wanted an es-355 but this suits me much better for my playing style. The main -

This is the most interesting guitar demo ever. Thank you!

Just some clarification to what was said in the video. The guitar was made from '69-'75, not '72. Only about 2,400 were made. It has the master volume on the lower horn, not because it'd be easier to do a fade-out, but because Gibson was losing hollowbody sales to Gretsch - including Chet Atkins. So Gibson started mimicking Gretsch by putting the master volume knob on the lower horn.

Gotta say I love this guitar. My favorite Gibson, next to an old Les Paul.

My favorite guitar... This is a blues honker...a country gentleman.... and a screamin' rocker! I had one in high school while I was on the road the neck warped and I had to let it go... (mine was not the beautiful blond seen in this video... but a dark mahogany) Have had an eye out for one on ebay--- usually around the $4k mark... worth it... but not realistic for my blood...

I recently bought a Jay Turser copy (JT 142) it plays just like my old es-150... sweet--reunion!

really interesting info man. i usually get annoyed at guys who yammer away and don't play the instrument they're "demo-ing", but this was interesting. question: don't your large hands have a hard time with the smaller (late-60s Gibson) neck

(1 9/16ths)? obviously not, but just curious what you're impression is about the narrower nut...

Can anyone tell me what's the price of the gibson es 150 d ?

(My dad bought it in 1970 for 1000 $)

And is this a good guitar for playing in a big band?

Glad you found your dream guitar. What a cool video.

[tigerfire44]

Great story about how you got the guitar of your dreams...Thanks for posting!

[erod1944]

This was almost like a movie on the Hallmark channel.  There were points in the video where I was reduced to tears. Like where you couldn't afford the guitar (tension) and then you found the guitar and the two of you were one (release). I feel, well, cleansed. Put some flats on that baby.

the blues guitar is what i call it
