-the ES-150 was first introduced in 1936 and featured a Charlie Christian blade pickup
-this 1941 model has it's original P-13 with adjustable pole pieces
-when Gibson mounted these pickups, they had to cut through the two tone bars (top braces) so, to prevent the top from sagging under string pressure, they installed 2 sound posts (wooden dowels) - these were often lost or removed but this guitar still has them securely in place and the top is perfectly arched
-16 1/14" body with a carved spruce top finished in sunburst
-carved maple back and maple sides - there is a repaired back crack
-mahogany neck with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard
-tapered headstock with pearl "Script" style logo
-pearloid was all the rage during this time period and some Gibson arch tops featured a pearloid truss rod cover - this could be original or it could have been added early in the life of the guitar
-3 of the tuners are original Kluson and 3 are Waverly with metal buttons
-original notched tortoise pick guard and original knobs with arrows and no numbers
-original trapeze tailpiece
-original Brazilian rosewood height adjustable bridge with compensated upper section
-the original finish has no overspray or touchups and is in remarkable condition
-original Gieb "Red Line" case in nice condition
-Note: during the war years, production ceased and in 1946 they re-introduced this model but with a 17" body and P-90 pickup
