"ver·di·gris - a bright bluish-green encrustation or patina formed on copper or brass by atmospheric oxidation, consisting of basic copper carbonate." - Oxford Languages* 1953 #Gibson #ES295, spotted yesterday at @folkwaymusic.  You don't see many vintage 295s around (or modern ones for that matter!) and I just love it when the #goldtop gold finish has cracked and aged, and gone green around the edges like this one has. I don't know the chemical formulation of Gibson's goldtop gold...but I am going to wager it contains copper!

Just arrived, a 1953 Gibson ES-295! Original brown hard shell case. #guitarsofinstagram #guitarporn #guitarlove #guitare #guitarra #gitarr #gitarre #gitarren # ギター #gibsones295 #vintagegibson #gibsonsofinstagram #retrofretvintageguitars #gowanus #scottymoore (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars)

Pure #GibSunday gold. 1957 #Gibson #ES295 with matching #GibsonGA30 #amplifier from the original owner! Also dig the swag: Gibson catalogue and brochure, "vibrarest" on top of amp) and original box (in front of case, left), strings (front of case, right), Gibson club card (in case, right)...and my favourite...Gibson "multi selector" picks (lined up on edge of case top, left. The things that look like little throwing stars)! Each pick has three different picking surfaces of different thicknesses. Want to change from heavy to thin? No need to stop playing and change picks...just rotate your multi selector pick! 🤣 PS if anyone knows what these things are officially called, let me know...I just used the term "multi selector" for lack of the real name! 😂 #gibsones295 #scottymoore #Elvis #gibsonamp #amps #amp #vintageamp #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CetKi2Hu8P-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2013 #Gibson Memphis #ES295 VOS . After an extended visit lasting several months, I'll finally be saying goodbye to this beauty tomorrow. 😥 . Thank you so much for the long-term loan @tomgibson3783...I'm sure you're as excited to get your hands back on this beautiful instrument as I am sad to let go of it! . On the plus side: I know you guys will enjoy seeing what Tom lends me next from his extensive and varied collection! Stand by for copious photos ... 😄 .

ES295 WednESday, courtesy of @tomgibson3783's 2013 #GibsonMemphis VOS reissue. . From a photography perspective I really couldn't ask for a more aesthetically pleasing and photogenic #guitar. But I do have one small photography-specific complaint to the designers at #Gibson about the 295: the arched section that you guys put around the pickup selector switch makes for some weird, asymmetrical-looking shadows in a lot of pictures! You can sort of see the hump around the switch in this shot. It looks perfectly fine except when the light hits it the wrong way. Then it casts a wonky shadow across the top of the guitar. The result is you can't just point and shoot with this guitar in any lighting setup and be guaranteed wonk-free results every time...you have really play around with the positioning of the guitar and/or the light source to get it to look not weird! Now, I'm not an inordinately lazy person*...but getting that shadow to not look bizarre causes a lot more work for me than it should! If you guys wouldn't mind, can you please just go back in time to the early 1950s and redesign the shape of that area for me, it would make my job a lot easier! Cheers! 😆 . . #gibsones295 #electricspanish #scottymoore #hollowbody #jazzguitar #jazzbox #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #gibsoncustom #customshop #reissue #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitargear #vintagegear #guitarsdaily #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography . * yes I am.🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_o9ZYhq0q/?igshid=1mr1zteygupnp

1997 #Gibson Historic #CustomShop #ES295 spotted at @sherwoodkw in Kitchener, Canada. . Before Saturday, the last time I saw a 295 in person was over two years ago. That one was in a private collection. I cannot remember the last time I saw one in a #guitarshop. Then on Saturday I saw two of them in one day! First, my buddy @tomgibson3783 lent me his 2013 Memphis VOS...and half an hour later I'm visiting my first #guitar shop in 6 months and lo and behold...there's another one! When it rains it pours, I guess! . These do not come along every day. Check out the Sherwood Music website for more details and pricing.

A vintage SG on #GibSunday morning, and a gorgeous golden 2013 Memphis 295 reissue in the afternoon, thanks to my friend @tomgibson3783.
